During arbitral proceedings, the parties may not always be able to collect all relevant documents and evidence from the outset. Certain evidence may only be discovered after the Statement of Claim or Statement of Defence has been submitted, or after the deadline prescribed by the Arbitral Tribunal. In such circumstances, will late-submitted documents and evidence still be considered?
Courts and arbitration are both methods of dispute resolution and act as adjudicative forums for the parties to a dispute. The outcomes of dispute resolution by a court or by arbitration have equivalent legal effect. Some basic similarities are as follows:
Decision No. 131/2024/QĐ-PQTT dated June 27, 2024 of the People’s Court of Ho Chi Minh City is a notable practical case concerning a request to set aside an arbitral award in relation to the determination of late-payment interest.[1]
When choosing arbitration to resolve disputes, parties are typically concerned about the fees and expenses payable, the timing of their financial obligations, the principles governing cost allocation, and the circumstances under which arbitration fees may be refunded.
In arbitral proceedings involving a foreign element, or where at least one party is a foreign-invested enterprise, the parties are entitled to agree on the language to be used for resolving their dispute. The Arbitral Tribunal may determine the language of the proceedings only in the absence of such an agreement.
Commercial arbitration respects the parties’ freedom of agreement. In particular, selecting an arbitral tribunal composed of one Arbitrator or three Arbitrators directly affects two core objectives: the speed/cost of the proceedings and the quality/impartiality of the award.
