The Standards and Burden of Proof in International Arbitration

The following seven contributions are the edited and revised papers delivered at the Joint Colloquium of the School of International Arbitration at the Centre for Commercial Law Studies, Queen Mary and Westfield College, University of London and the Institute of International Business Law and Practice of the International Chamber of Commerce, which was held in London in 1992. The editors acknowledge the co-sponsors' permission to publish these texts; and express their thanks to Mr Brian Schwab who assisted in the preparation for publication of these papers. ANY EXPERIENCED lawyer who is faced with putting forward, or defending, a claim on behalf of a client will start by asking that client a series of questions. Sometimes these questions may be so much to the point that the client will be drawn to protest: ‘Whose side are you on? Their side or mine?’ But is essential to know not only the strengths but also the weaknesses of any case, before putting it forward. Once the outline of the case becomes clear, another series of questions emerges. ‘How are we going to prove our case? What evidence is there? Are there any documents which support the factual arguments we want to put forward? Who are the relevant witnesses and what are they likely to say? Do we need expert opinions to back up our submissions on technical matters? And, in the context of an international commercial arbitration, where the arbitral tribunal may well come from different legal disciplines, how are we going to establish the submissions of law on which we rely? Is this to be done by written briefs, by oral submissions, by calling lawyers to give evidence as to the relevant law – or by some combination of these methods?’ These questions are all, in their different ways, directed to the …

International Trade Terms (Standard Terms for Contracts for the International Sale of Goods) by Dr. A.H. Hermann

International Trade Terms (Standard Terms for Contracts for the International Sale of Goods), by Dr A.H. Hermann. Published by Graham & Trotman/Martinus Nijhoff, London and Dordrecht (with the Centre for Commercial Law Studies, Queen Mary and Westfield College, University of London) , (1993, xviii and 197 pp., incl. Table of Contents and Index.) Hardback. Price UK £53; Dfl. 165.00; US $90. First there were INCOTERMS, initially formulated in 1936 and now in their 1990 edition. Now, and additionally, there are to be INTRATERMS. This book is an elaboration of what have been coined International Trade Terms, a new body of standard contractual terms for the international sale of goods formulated by Dr Adolf H. Hermann, whom many readers will remember as Legal Correspondent of the Financial Times , but who is now D.J. Freeman Senior Research Fellow in International Trade Law at the Centre for Commercial Law Studies, Queen Mary and Westfield College, University of London. Like INCOTERMS, the new terms will operate by contractual incorporation. It is, however, not the intention that the new terms compete with INCOTERMS, so that the market is compelled to make a choice. The new code of terms contemplates the possibility of contracts incorporating both INCOTERMS and INTRATERMS and expressly provide the way such a double incorporation is to be accommodated, with INCOTERMS taking priority. An eye is also directed to the UN Convention on Contracts for International Sale of Goods (Vienna Convention), and provision again made for the relation which is to exist between the two (see para. 104). The new terms are examined in the five chapters of the book, presumably following the main divisions made in the code itself, and titled: General Provisions, Contract for the Sale of Goods, Transportation of Sold Goods, Abbreviated Contractual Terms and Resolution of Disputes. Each paragraph of the code is followed by an explanatory note, with the more important expanded to include comparisons with chosen national jurisdictions, with the Vienna Convention and a miscellany of other sources. English law however prevails as the principal source of comparative reference, reflecting its significant position in international trade. The overriding object of the exercise is to provide a body …

DNA evidence may have been misleading to courts

Courts are being misled about the strength of evidence based on DNA, according to two mathematicians writing in last week's issue of Nature. David Balding and Peter Donnelly, of Queen Mary and Westfield College, London, argue that the adversarial nature of the British legal system and the “siege mentality” of some forensic scientists have often led to evidence being presented in a partisan and misleading way. The article points out a common “prosecutor's fallacy” when the probability of guilt is assessed in the light of a possible match between samples of DNA. The strength of a correlation between the DNA of the accused and the DNA of the crime sample is expressed by …
