2024 mid-year arbitration round-up: upholding the integrity of arbitration in Hong Kong
In the rapidly evolving landscape of international commercial arbitration, the Hong Kong courts have played a pivotal role in upholding the integrity and finality of arbitral awards. This comprehensive half-year review examines a series of recent decisions that showcase the Hong Kong judiciary’s nuanced approach to balancing the autonomy of the arbitral process with the need to address substantive issues of public policy and procedural irregularities.
Written by Edward Liu (Partner), Vinca Yau and Lori Ng (Senior Associates), Richard Poon and Aaron Lai (Associates), all members of the dispute resolution team at Haiwen & Partners LLP.

Arbitration Cause and Third Parties, 1st Edition
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 ‘one size fits all’ 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 the issue from both jurisdictions. Moreover, the book explores the status of third parties to arbitration and a wide range of legal situations in which arbitration clauses bind third parties.
