The CIArb London Branch and the International Arbitration Centre (IAC) would like to invite you to join us for a virtual evening reflecting on the arbitration influencer 2020. Remote hearings were unthinkable in 2019. The pandemic caused a shift in mindsets and Zoom and other video conferencing platforms entered our arbitration proceedings. Our panel will address how proceedings have changed in 2020 and what lies ahead for the Future. Like Zoom we have also heard the name Chubb more than once in 2020 eagerly awaiting guidance and clarification from the Supreme Court in two decisions that have now set the scene for arbitration going forward. The second panel is going to look at the implications ahead resulting out of the two supreme court judgements.
