Witness testimony is regarded with increased scepticism, due to timing and costs. Toby Landau QC, Alexandra Johnson and Asli Yilmaz ask what returns we actually get from this process and how it may be improved.

We have to think outside the box and play like a well-timed orchestra in order to keep arbitration relevant and a serious contender in #DisputeResolution for the next 10 years.

Juliet Blanch delivers the #IBAArb keynote address on making arbitration fit for the future

[Arbitra Live @ArbitraLive]

David Dearman Senior Managing Director, Litigation Arbitration & Disputes, of @Ankura_Consult, London, is now speaking, giving the experts view. Endorses both Friedman's Quantum Academy and the App.

[Robert Jones @RJLLB]

Collaboration should include the experts to influence a better quantum assessment.

[Robert Jones @RJLLB]

The next talk revolves around the proposition that lawyers’ knowledge & understanding of the non-legal dimensions of #damages calculations hasn’t kept pace, even though practically every international #arbitration presents #quantum issues and complex damages calculations.
#IBAArb

[Robert Jones @RJLLB]

The establishment of a Quantum Academy for lawyers offering training, certification and debate will help demystify the topic and help lawyers take ownership of damages issues.

[Robert Jones @RJLLB]

A compelling case showing the need for #innovation in the area of #damages, including the disparity of understanding of damages between counsel, experts and the tribunal and its potential impact on justice.
#IBAArb

[Arbitra Live @ArbitraLive]

Why is this introduction from Friedman important? Well, just about every international arbitration presents quantum issues and the value of claims, as well as the complexity of
damages calculations, which has also increased substantially.

[Robert Jones @RJLLB]

One of the proposals is a day when the tribunal can meet and focus on the issues. The “Reed Retreat” will assist with faster agreement and avoid dissenting opinions.

In #Istanbul with the @Ankura_Consult team at the 23rd Annual #IBA #Arbitration Day, which begins with a very clear yearning for more effective & cost efficient management of arbitration.

Spectacular use of imagery from Professor Georges Affaki. Arbitration proceedings can be like a spaghetti western when there should be more proactive collaboration.

[Robert Jones @RJLLB]

Lucy Reed set out her ideas for a more robust Procedural Order template, including better use of #experts, more #collaboration between the parties and the tribunal and other methods to help prevent smoke from developing into fire.

Some people write “pls” when they mean “please”. Discuss.

[Robert Jones @RJLLB]

@LauranceDine First of all, well done, Laurance. This is an incredible feat for an important cause and I hope you reach all of your goals and I encourage others to support you!

[Robert Jones @RJLLB]

@LauranceDine Top of mind choices for you:
-The Ridgeway (in the Chilterns). Long and hilly!
-The Grand Union Canal. Any section. Flat, but potentially monotonous.
Here are a couple of ideas that you may like:
