Taylor & Francis Ltd Arbitration Clauses and Third Parties
Book SynopsisThis is the first book to focus on the legal question of the incorporation of arbitration clauses, even though this issue constitutes a common problem that arises frequently in practice. Arbitration Clauses and Third Parties compares different branches of law, namely shipping, reinsurance, and construction, where the legal notion of incorporation is often implemented. It evaluates how the differences and peculiarities of the said branches of law impact the outcome of the incorporation of arbitration clauses and therefore why a âone size fits allâ approach should be avoided. The book provides both an in-depth legal analysis of the incorporation of arbitration clauses as well as the legal position of the third parties regarding arbitration agreements and a detailed evaluation of the relevant case law. It further offers a unique comparative analysis of English law and Singapore law with regards to the incorporation of arbitration clauses and features recent case law on Table of ContentsTable of Cases, Preface, Part I Muddying the Water: Incorporation of Arbitration Clauses in Shipping, Reinsurance, and Construction Chain Contracts, Chapter 1 The Foundations of Incorporation and Arbitration Clauses, Chapter 2 Incorporation of Charterparty Arbitration Clauses into Bills of Lading, Chapter 3 Incorporation of Arbitration Clauses into Reinsurance Contracts, Chapter 4 Construction Contracts and the Incorporation of Arbitration Clauses, Chapter 5 Singapore Law and Incorporation of Arbitration Clauses, PART II Not Incorporation – but a Close Analogy: Arbitration Clauses Binding Third Parties, Chapter 6 Arbitration Agreements and Third Parties, Index
