Arbitration Talks

Arbitration Talks rather than towards publicity. Paradoxically, the more elaborate standards which we intend to recommend are aimed at simplification and at reducing costs, which unfortunately have lately been soaring. Appointments must not be treated as potential licences to exploit and strip new gold fields or the North Sea oil wells. We have an implied duty to render a service to the community and the "credo" of the Arbitrator should be to palliate the parties and not to broaden their differences. Tribunals must attempt to reconcile and not to antagonise. Our Courts have encouraged conciliationyet many Arbitrators are seen to be drifting away from the precept. A Committee must remember that the Chairman's task is not to set home­ work for its quorum, but to lend their ideas and comments to discussion and rationalisation. The International Arbitration Committee invites contributions, and has thrown open its doors to lay Members who wish to participate in its deliberations. An effective system for dissiminating information has not yet been developed, but it is intended to publish a summary of the Minutes to give the Institute the opportunity of assessing the work of its sub-committee. Knowledge of procedure, domestic or foreign, must lead to better relations and the system of Law in application overseas must be understood if Arbitration is to avoid the qualification of parochial. Where justice must be seen to be done, both optics and parallax must be considered. Disputants should never be left to feel that the choice of a foreign tribunal is a negation of their rights. In due course the Committee will be instructed by Council to prepare a series of lectures on Comparative Arbitration Law and practice, but while a recommendation will be made that nothing should be published before it has been perfected, this must not become a reason for procrastination. Success is more often achieved by taking some action rather than none. The International Arbitration Committee is aware of the need for greater diligence and the Institute having now crossed its Rubicon, should grant it as a motto : "VENI VIDI VICI". Mr. Charles C. Timms (F) Consulting Civil and Structural Engineer, and Mr. Arthur Cripps (F) Architect, addressed an invited audience on "Practical Arbitration" at Devizes on March 19th. The meeting was arranged by the Western Region of the Institute of Building, and was attended by architects, quantity surveyors, surveyors, Local Government officers, teachers and builders.

Abstract

rather than towards publicity. Paradoxically, the more elaborate standards which we intend to recommend are aimed at simplification and at reducing costs, which unfortunately have lately been soaring. Appointments must not be treated as potential licences to exploit and strip new gold fields or the North Sea oil wells. We have an implied duty to render a service to the community and the "credo" of the Arbitrator should be to palliate the parties and not to broaden their differences. Tribunals must attempt to reconcile and not to antagonise. Our Courts have encouraged conciliationyet many Arbitrators are seen to be drifting away from the precept. A Committee must remember that the Chairman's task is not to set home­ work for its quorum, but to lend their ideas and comments to discussion and rationalisation. The International Arbitration Committee invites contributions, and has thrown open its doors to lay Members who wish to participate in its deliberations. An effective system for dissiminating information has not yet been developed, but it is intended to publish a summary of the Minutes to give the Institute the opportunity of assessing the work of its sub-committee. Knowledge of procedure, domestic or foreign, must lead to better relations and the system of Law in application overseas must be understood if Arbitration is to avoid the qualification of parochial. Where justice must be seen to be done, both optics and parallax must be considered. Disputants should never be left to feel that the choice of a foreign tribunal is a negation of their rights. In due course the Committee will be instructed by Council to prepare a series of lectures on Comparative Arbitration Law and practice, but while a recommendation will be made that nothing should be published before it has been perfected, this must not become a reason for procrastination.
