Re-calibration of Curial Intervention in Public Policy Challenges Against Arbitral Awards

Development summary

It surveys approaches across jurisdictions, including the very strict review stance generally adopted in common law authorities, and proposes an alternative common-law approach designed to strike a better balance among the competing interests.
