Third-party fund­ing and se­cur­ity for costs in in­ter­na­tion­al ar­bit­ra­tion

De­vel­op­ment sum­mary

The art­icle ex­am­ines the impact of third-party fund­ing on the de­cision to order se­cur­ity for costs in in­ter­na­tion­al ar­bit­ra­tion.

It states that third-party fund­ing raises pro­ced­ur­al issues such as ar­bit­rat­ors’ im­par­ti­al­ity and in­de­pend­ence, con­fid­en­ti­al­ity and al­loc­a­tion of costs, and ad­dresses the issue through doc­trine and ar­bit­ral case law.
