In an effort to maintain Delaware's competitive position in the market for adjudications, Delaware recently adopted a Chancery Court-sponsored arbitration procedure. That procedure relies on the good offices of the Court to undertake confidential arbitration proceedings. There are serious constitutional questions with respect to the propriety of sitting judges conducting confidential arbitrations. In addition, it is not clear that the supposed benefits of a state-sponsored arbitration system outweigh the costs to the state's ability to develop and maintain its own corporate law brought on by such a system. Although Delaware may simply be making the best of what it considers a bad situation, given the state's interest in maintaining its position as a leader in the corporate law Delaware and the public may be better served by abandoning the Chancery-sponsored arbitration system altogether.

The recently concluded arbitration between the United States and the Netherlands relative to the ownership of the Island of Palmas, which resulted in the decision of the Permanent Court of Arbitration that this bit of territory belongs to the latter country, involved points of interest to the international lawyer out of all proportion to the importance of the res.1 In this respect it would of course be no novelty in the annals of national jurisprudence. In addition to many interesting matters of arbitral procedure, the case involved most of the international substantive law of real property, if it may be so called.

Die Unabhängigkeit von Schiedsrichtern ist für die internationale Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit von grundsätzlicher Bedeutung. In der letzten Zeit wurden immer häufiger Schiedssprüche wegen mangelnder schiedsrichterlicher Unabhängigkeit aufgehoben. Das vorliegende Werk ist dem praxisrelevanten Fragenkomplex der schiedsrichterlichen Unabhängigkeit und Unparteilichkeit gewidmet. Eingehend werden die ausgefeilten dogmatischen Strukturen und die relevante Rechtsprechung der für die internationale Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit wichtigen Rechtsordnungen (Frankreich, England, Schweiz, Deutschland) auf der pro-arbitralen, arbitralen und post-arbitralen Verfahrensebene untersucht. Ein detailliertes Stichwortverzeichnis und eine umfangreiche Literaturliste runden die Arbeit ab. Aus dem Vorwort: "Dr. Angoura's book provides a detailed, systematic and comprehensive analysis of the concepts of independence and impartiality of arbitrators in international commercial arbitration. In addition to exploring the arbitrator's duties of impartiality and independence on a conceptual and theoretical level, provides a valuable tool for practice in international arbitration. Its careful examination of national court decisions, institutional rulings and other authorities is an important contribution to parties, lawyers, arbitrators, institutions and national courts to facilitate decisions on questions of disclosure and waiver and its application to impartiality at the different arbitration stages. This book contributes in particular to the ongoing discussion of the arbitrator's impartiality as one of the (most frequently-invoked) grounds for annulment or non-recognition of arbitral awards. I congratulate the author for her very thorough research and thoughtful writing and her valuable contribution to the dialogue between academia and practice." Gary B. Born, London, November 2021
