| | | | | Arbitration and Winding Up: Is it Time to Embrace Change?
The lecture explores the complex interplay between arbitration and insolvency, focussing on how insolvency proceedings affect arbitration agreements and vice versa. In particular, the lecture will consider the impact of insolvency proceedings on arbitral agreements and ongoing arbitrations, the effect of arbitration on the administration of insolvency estates, and the evolving debate over whether disputes such as avoidance actions, creditor claims, and restructuring arrangements should be deemed arbitrable. Through an examination of jurisprudence, policy analysis and practical insights, the lecture aims to unravel the key points of friction between arbitration and insolvency, evaluate current approaches, and propose ways to achieve greater coherence in resolving disputes at this intersection.
