The SIArb mission includes the education of arbitration practitioners, the promotion of arbitration and the development of the profession of Arbitrator. As yet another step towards fulfilling this mission, the SIArb Annual Lecture series aims to draw luminaries in the field of Arbitration to speak on current issues and trends that would shape the quality of arbitration practitioners as well as that of the practice of arbitration in general.

The SIArb Inaugural Annual Lecture 2019 will be on the topic “Arbitral Groundhog Day: The Problem of Repeat Claims and Issues In Arbitration”.
The lecture will consider recent cases and international developments in the doctrines of res judicata, issue estoppel and abuse of process, and the extent to which these legal notions may be deployed in commercial arbitration; investor-State disputes; and the scheme of the New York Convention.
