The Qatar International Center for Conciliation and Arbitration (QICCA) recently hosted a specialized arbitration seminar at the Qatar Chamber's headquarters in Doha. The event was part of the festivities for the Sixth World Conference on International Arbitration.
Notable attendees included Sheikh Dr. Thani bin Ali Al Thani, QICCA's Vice Chairman, and Ibrahim Shahbek, the Secretary-General of QICCA. The seminar also drew a diverse group of legal experts, arbitration professionals, and students from Qatar University and Lusail University. The seminar was presided over by the center's legal counsel, Khaled Al-Jarhi.
The event featured two key presentations. Professor Loukas Mistelis, a partner at Steptoe International in the UK and the director of the School of International Arbitration at Queen Mary University of London, discussed global trends and user expectations in international arbitration. His presentation, titled "Global Trends, User Expectations and the Path Forward," analyzed key findings from studies and surveys conducted over the past two decades.
Professor Mistelis emphasized the evolving preferences of parties involved in international arbitration, the increasing demand for cost efficiency and faster proceedings, and the growing influence of artificial intelligence and digital technology in modern dispute resolution.
Dr. Osman Nour Osman, an associate professor of commercial law at Lusail University, focused on the personal liability of arbitrators for breaches of the arbitration agreement. He examined the legal consequences of not adhering to agreed deadlines and procedural requirements, and how such failures can affect the validity and enforceability of arbitral awards, as well as the scope of an arbitrator's professional accountability.
