Book excerpt: The Baker and McKenzie International Arbitration Yearbook 2014-2015 covers 45 jurisdictions and is organized by country. As in past years, the first section (Part A) describes important recent developments and trends in national legislation and practice affecting the conduct of international arbitration. The second section (Part B) refers to noteworthy case law in each country, and a third section (Part C) focuses on an important current topic in international arbitration. This year's topic is local arbitration institutions. Each jurisdiction was invited to describe the history and background of its local institutions, the types of disputes handled, and the most recent available statistics for numbers of disputes handled. Each jurisdiction was also asked to set out the key features of arbitration in each institution, such as its position on the confidentiality of arbitration, the availability of expedited procedures and consolidation of disputes, and any time limits for rendering of the award. Jurisdictions were also invited to describe how costs and fees are typically dealt with by the institution and to mention any special or unusual features of its procedure. The diversity and breadth of global international arbitration practice is clearly displayed in these chapters. The Baker and McKenzie International Arbitration Yearbook 2014-2015 provides critical commentary about world-wide developments that directly affect the risks and challenges of doing business locally and internationally and managing the disputes that follow.
