The Public Policy Exception in the Judicial Review of International Commercial Arbitral Awards

Meer over het boek

This book systematically examines the Chinese arbitration law system's response to the public policy exception in the judicial review of international arbitral awards. It explores the legal concept of public policy in international arbitration and its interpretation within Chinese law and judicial practice. By focusing on international developments alongside Chinese practices, the book offers valuable lessons relevant to both contexts. It reviews Chinese legislation and case law while comparing them to international trends and consensus, systematically assessing China's approach to defining and applying public policy in the judicial review of international commercial arbitral awards. Detailed case analyses provide insights into key questions, such as the international versus national nature of public policy, its essential elements, and the appropriate boundaries of judicial review. The author highlights unique legal concepts and approaches within the Chinese context, evaluating their implications for foreign parties and practitioners involved in arbitration in China. The book suggests that, amid recent legal reforms, the Chinese legal system is expected to take further steps toward a more comprehensive understanding of the public policy exception, aligning with the global trend toward a converging interpretation of public policy in international arbitration.
