- How do the State courts interact with arbitration proceedings and what is the attitude of such courts toward international arbitration?
- What are the rules governing evidentiary matters in arbitration?
- How is an arbitration tribunal constituted?
- How are arbitrators appointed? How may they be challenged?
- How can an international arbitral award be recognized and enforced?
- How does the Portuguese legal system address the issue of damages and what specific damages are admitted?
- How are the costs of arbitration proceedings estimated and allocated?
The book includes analyses of arbitration related to specific fields of the law, notably sports, administrative, tax, intellectual property rights (especially regarding reference and generic medicines), and corporate disputes. Each chapter provides, for the topics it addresses, an examination of the applicable laws, rules, arbitration practice, and views taken by arbitral tribunals and state courts as well as those of the most highly considered scholars.
As a detailed examination of the legal framework and of all procedural steps of an arbitration in Portugal, from the drafting of an arbitration agreement to the enforcement of an award, this book constitutes an invaluable resource for parties involved in or considering an international arbitration in this country. The guidance that it seeks to provide in respect of any problem likely to arise in this context can be useful to arbitrators, judges, academics, and interested lawyers.
