DISPUTE RESOLUTION 2001 EDITION CHAPTER 23: INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION AND MEDIATION© 2001 by Stephen E. Smith III. Drafting the International Arbitration AgreementK. [23.17] Jurisdictional Defenses, Waiver, Jury WaiverThese provisions amount to an irrevocable nonexclusive submission to the jurisdiction of a certain court and the waiver of a jury trial on a money claim.
L. [23.18] LanguageThis seemingly tautological provision reminds the drafter to include the language in which the arbitration is to take place, regardless of its geographical seat.
M. [23.19] Limitations PeriodsIt may be useful to the parties to know that, after a certain period of time has passed, any claim regarding the contract is time-barred. If the element of time is important to the relationship between the parties, the agreement should include such a time-related provision.
