ICC Institute Advanced Level Training on Drafting Enforceable Awards
Erdem & Erdem Founder and Senior Partner, the Chair of ICC Commercial Law and Practice Commission, member of ICC International Court of Arbitration and member of the ICC Institute of World Business Law, Prof. Dr. H. Ercüment Erdem chaired the ICC Institute Advanced Level Training on Drafting Enforceable Awards which took place at Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), in Abu Dhabi on Thursday 6 October 2022.
After the welcoming address and introduction of Ercüment Erdem and Dania Fahns training sessions took place. During the sessions that lasted throughout the day, the drafting style of arbitral awards, the preparation process and scrutiny of the award by the ICC International Court of Arbitration (ICC Court) were handled.
Prof. Erdem also took part as a speaker in two sessions. In the “Drafting an arbitral award: which drafting style?” session together with Abdulhay Sayed, he discussed how legal systems and traditions can influence drafting techniques, the different approaches in civil and common law, how to improve the quality of the award, by getting away from the “copy and paste”. In the “Mock Court session: scrutiny of the award by the ICC Court and debate”, which Othmane Saadani, Sabrina Ainouz and Lara Hammoud also attended, the draft award reviewed by the working groups was debated. The participants took the opportunity to witness the type of discussions that are held between members of the ICC Court and representatives of the Secretariat when reviewing a draft award.
