Interest in international arbitration: how to get it right? Economic, legal and procedural considerations
09.00-09.10 Welcome address, introduction and presentation of the ICC Institute of World Business Law and the training
09.10-10.10 An introduction to interest – from an economic perspective
Interest in international arbitration is an important yet poorly understood topic. In this first session, participants will be introduced to the economic basis and rationale for awarding interest. Economic experts will outline the different types of interest and identify the relationship between interest rates and currency, exchange rates, and inflation. Throughout the session, speakers will illustrate concepts using examples.
10.10-10.40 Q&A
10.40-11.00 Coffee break
11.00-12.00 Legal basis for awarding interest
This session builds on the previous one. Once participants have understood the foundations of interest, it will be time to turn to the legal basis for awarding interest. In this session, participants will cover four topics, (i) legal authority for awarding interest, (ii) choice of rate of interest, (iii) period of interest – pre-and post-award interest, and (iv) simple v compound interest. In this session, speakers will adopt a comparatist approach to contrast approaches in different jurisdictions, and set out relevant considerations such as applicable law, mandatory v discretionary rules, and public policy considerations.
12.00-12.30 Q&A
12.30-14.00 Lunch break
14.00-15.00 Case scenarios on Legal basis for awarding interest
15.00-16.00 Practical and procedural issues: tips and potential pitfalls
In this final session, speakers will guide participants through practical and procedural issues and provide tips on how to navigate potential pitfalls. The topics covered will include the timing and format of submissions and calculations, how to work with evidence, and how to approach interest when drafting submissions and awards. The session will approach these issues from the perspective of what is expected of both counsel and tribunals.
16.00-16.30 Q&A
16.30-16.50 Coffee break
16.50-17.50 Case scenarios on Practical and procedural issues: tips and potential pitfalls
17.50-18.00 Concluding remarks
The programme will be published in due course.
