In their recent blog post, Caroline Devès and Thomas de Bekker (Houthoff) provided an insightful analysis of a Dutch court decision regarding an ambiguous arbitration agreement. The post delves into a dispute between Subway International B.V. and an unnamed agent, focusing on the interpretation of an unclear arbitration clause within their 2008 agreement. The clause left open which arbitral institute would administer disputes, leading to a legal confrontation when Subway terminated the agreement. The agent sought the Dutch courts' intervention, arguing that the ambiguity prevented timely arbitration. However, the court found itself incompetent to rule, stating that the agent could have initiated arbitration proceedings despite the lack of clarity. The authors discuss the court's implicit suggestions about the arbitration's potential administration by institutes like the AAA, ADRC, or NAI and the inferred seat of #arbitration in the United States. The blog post concludes that arbitral tribunals are better suited to interpret such ambiguous agreements, emphasising the principle of Kompetenz-Kompetenz. The authors suggest that parties should consider using model arbitration clauses to avoid such uncertainties in the future 💡 #internationalarbitration #arbitrationagreement #disputeresolution

Dear Network, I wish I had the words to express how incredibly grateful I am to have been chosen by the Kingdom of the Netherlands to represent one of my nationalities at the College of Europe next September 2024. In just a few months, I will be embarking on a life-changing journey to pursue a Master in European Law. To say that this was my dream since the first day I started my Degree in Comparative Law would be an understatement. It is for me a privilege to have been granted the opportunity to follow the steps of those who built our unity under a common European flag, and to inherit from the honour, but also the responsibility, of upholding the legacy of the European Union. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. The College of Europe was the world’s first institute of postgraduate studies and training in European affairs. It was founded in 1949 by leading European figures such as Salvador DE MADARIAGA, Winston CHURCHILL, Paul Henri SPAAK and Alcide DE GASPERI in the wake of the first Congress of the European Movement in The Hague in 1948. The idea was to establish an institute where university graduates from many different European countries could study and live together in preparation for careers related to European cooperation and integration.

📢 Announcement from Utrecht Journal of International Law! 📢 Dear Readers, We are thrilled to present Volume 39, Issue 1 of the Utrecht Journal of International and European Law (UJIEL)! 🌍📚 This issue showcases the dedication and scholarly contributions of our authors, and the rigorous efforts of our board of editors and external referees involved in our double-blind review process. 🔍 Highlights of this Issue: The Electronic Participation in Corporate Bodies in Lithuania from a Comparative Perspective: Ivan Romaschenko and Virginijus Bitė explore the digital transformations in corporate governance regulations in Europe, prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The article analyzes electronic participation in corporate bodies in Lithuania, comparing Estonian and German jurisdictions, and includes quantitative surveys from Lithuanian law firms. The authors provide recommendations on identification and verification of shareholders, voting methods during online meetings, and decision-making on electronic participation. Post-EU Accession to the ECHR: The Argument for Why the ECtHR Should Abandon the Bosphorus Doctrine: Šejla Imamović examines the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) case law from 2005-2021 concerning the responsibility of EU member states, known as the “Bosphorus presumption of equivalent protection.” The article argues for abandoning this doctrine in light of the EU's principle of mutual trust and its impending accession to the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR). We hope these contributions inspire further discussion and research in the field of international and European law. Thank you for your continued support and engagement with UJIEL. https://lnkd.in/gmtJSbXM Stay informed, stay inspired, and join the conversation with Utrecht Journal of International Law! #InternationalLaw #LegalResearch #UtrechtJournal #NewEdition #ScholarlyArticles #Volume39Issue1 #LegalStudies #GlobalLaw #EuropeanLaw #CorporateGovernance #ECHR #ECtHR
