This authoritative commentary examines the new Vienna Rules and the Austrian Arbitration Act that both came into effect on 1 July 2006 as the result of a major reform. Following a call for modernization, this reform has further enhanced the attraction of Austria as an arbitral seat and has reinforced the importance of the Centre for parties seeking to resolve international commercial disputes. While the Rules themselves have become widely known among lawyers and arbitrators, there has been no significant commentary or guidance available until the advent of this book. Drawing on extensive research into the practice of the International Arbitral Centre in Vienna, as well as on case law, academic writing and the Act's legislative history, this book will be of great value to corporate counsel, international lawyers and arbitrators, as well as students of dispute resolution.
