Paris Arbitration Week

As part of Paris Arbitration Week, Mustafa Hadi took part in a panel on “Tales From The Virtual Battlefield: Perspectives of the Arbitrator, Advocate and Expert Witness.” Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the use of virtual hearings has increased, spurring arbitration centers and national legislators to set out best practices for virtual hearings. However, despite best attempts to establish governing principles, the nascent regulation remains incomplete. Therefore, in many respects, it is left to the arbitral tribunal and the parties to make their virtual hearings successful. Mr. Hadi built on knowledge developed in researching the recent BRG report The Psychological Impact of Remote Hearings.
