Gewerbliche Prozessfinanzierung in internationalen Investitionsschiedsverfahren

Financing international investment proceedings by having recourse to third-party funding has been one of the most discussed topics in international arbitration over the last few years. This book focuses on whether disclosing third-party funding in investment proceedings should be mandatory. In this context, the author deals with the question of if and to what extent an arbitral tribunal needs to know about a third-party funder’s involvement in order to be able to adequately decide the most relevant procedural issues resulting from its presence in court proceedings—namely, issues related to jurisdiction, costs and any potential conflicts of interest for arbitrators. The author also reviews the first regulatory attempts to introduce mandatory disclosure of such information and presents his own proposal as to how it should be designed and implemented.
The author is a German lawyer who specialises in procedural / insurance law and who works in Cologne.
