DID YOU KNOW

• That the origins of international arbitration are sometimes traced, if uncertainly, to Greek mythology? Some say that the earliest “international” dispute to be arbitrated was between Poseidon and Helios over the ownership of Corinth. Briareus, a giant, “arbitrated” the dispute by splitting Corinth between them!

• That an international arbitration can be seated in country A, have its hearings in country B, involve parties from countries C and D, arbitrators from countries E, F and G, and counsel from countries H, I, J and K?  It can also apply the substantive laws of country L and have its award enforced in yet another country M.  Truly “international”!
