Academic article on arbitrators’ liability in damages

Development summary

Tamás György Sveda’s article in Magyar Jog, the second part of a two-part study, addresses the still-unresolved questions surrounding arbitrators’ liability in damages under Hungarian practice. The author shows how, in arbitration with an international element, private international law rules can be used to determine the applicable law and jurisdiction in a claim against an arbitrator, and also discusses the contested Hungarian case-law on the legal basis of liability, recoverable heads of damage, personal injury claims and the possible use of liability insurance.
