What does procedural innovation mean for energy arbitration?
As part of the DIS Series Side Event “Arbitration
in Energy Disputes: The Users Meet the
Practitioners”, organised by Deutsche Institution
fur Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit e.V. (DIS) German Arbitration Institute
and the Bilateral Italian-German Arbitration
Group, our partner Florian
Haugeneder moderated a panel discussion in Rome with Eileen
Khor (Siemens Energy), Giancarlo Capurro (Statkraft) and Gustav
Flecke-Giammarco (Seven Summits Arbitration) on how arbitration can
better respond to the needs of the energy sector. The discussion
moved beyond the familiar debate on efficiency and explored how
tailored procedures, from expert determination to expedited
proceedings, can address the specific challenges faced by energy
projects.
The conversation highlighted that innovation is not about
reinventing arbitration, but about designing processes that fit the
disputes they are meant to resolve.
Thank you to Legance and DIS for bringing together users and practitioners for an open and insightful exchange.
