DISPUTE RESOLUTION 2001 EDITION CHAPTER 23: INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION AND MEDIATION© 2001 by Stephen E. Smith III. Drafting the International Arbitration AgreementY. [23.31] Sovereign Immunity - Waiver as to EnforcementThis sort of provision is important in the private party versus state or state agency context to ensure that enforcement of the award will be possible at the end of the day.
Z. [23.32] Submission Agreements for Existing DisputesIn the event that the parties to a contract have not included an arbitration clause in their contract and a dispute arises, they may still utilize arbitration through a submission agreement. That agreement may be as particularized as the parties desire, including as many of the elements discussed here in any form that they choose.
AA. [23.33] Initiating an International Arbitration ProceedingAn international arbitration proceeding may be initiated with the filing and service of either a Notice of Claim and Demand for Arbitration to be followed later by a Statement of Claim or by filing and service of a Joint Notice and Statement of Claim, in the manner provided in the arbitration clause or submission agreement.
BB. [23.34] Time Limits and Fast-TrackingIn order to keep the arbitration from bogging down and potentially having no end, the parties may provide that it commence and conclude with the award within a certain period of time.
