Abstract

Examples of repeat appointments have appeared in case law since the launch of the IBA Guidelines in 2004 created some debate. To date, this has not triggered any proposed responses. This article argues that ‘repeated appointments’ and ‘repeat arbitrators’ require more attention and, to begin with, proper definitions. The lack of comprehensive definitions reveals that this area is relatively unresearched and, as a consequence, there is little guidance for arbitrators or awareness by parties as regards the disclosure requirements in circumstances of repetition. Providing a definition, highlighting the issues surrounding this area and providing some suggestions, in an era of transparency in international commercial arbitration, are thus the main purposes of this article.
