Third-party funding in international arbitration remains a vague and elusive concept. This article posits that the international arbitration community’s struggle to define third-party funding is a consequence of its failure to address broader policy concerns over fairness in international arbitration. The policy concerns over fairness in international arbitration should be seen as a priority and tackled with practical solutions that ensure equality of arms and access to capital. It is only after such policy concerns have been addressed that a rational definition of third-party funding can be achieved.

There are no provisions specifically governing third-party funding in French law. Unlike some common law systems, which are more restrictive in this respect, French law does not prevent the use of third-party funding in international arbitration.As amply attested in case law and legal commentary, France generally adopts a liberal approach to international arbitration. There are nonetheless areas where caution is called for.A case in point is the ethical duties of counsel dealing with funders.The Paris Bar recently took the unprecedented step of issuing a resolution that provides interesting and useful guidelines on this matter.

In June 2017, Hong Kong passed legislation amending the Hong Kong Arbitration Ordinance to permit third-party funding of arbitration, mediation, and related proceedings.These amendments had all taken effect by February 1, 2019. Hong Kong’s regulatory regime requires third-party funders to comply with the financial and ethical standards set out in the Code of Practice for Third Party Funders of Arbitration, issued on December 7, 2018. This article explains why Hong Kong concluded that third-party funding of arbitration, mediation, and related proceedings under the Hong Kong Arbitration Ordinance should be allowed, why it needs to be regulated, and the key provisions at the heart of Hong’s Kong’s “light touch” regulatory approach embodied in the Code of Practice. The article also touches on a number of emerging issues, including whether an arbitral tribunal should have the power to make an adverse costs order against a third-party funder and the recoverability of the funder’s benefit under the funding agreement following Essar Oilfields Services Ltd. v. Norscott Rig Management Ltd.

Australia is renowned as a leading jurisdiction for litigation funding, underpinned by an expanding market and generally supportive legislature and judiciary. Less clear is the Australian approach to third-party funding in international arbitration. In an exploration of the Australian litigation funding landscape, this article seeks to understand whether any lessons can be gleaned in addressing the growing role of third-party funding in international arbitration.Through a consideration of the discrete issues of disclosure, confidentiality, costs orders, and security for costs, it is clear that both the Australian and international responses to litigation funding offer valuable guidance on issues surrounding third-party funding in international dispute resolution.

Third-party funding is increasingly used in relation to international arbitration claims. However, whilst the basic concept and framework are well known to most lawyers, many are less familiar with the practicalities, industry conventions, and broader alternative financing and risk management options available.This article discusses how arbitration finance deals are structured and priced in practice, how this has evolved in recent years with the growth of the market and the emergence of new funding structures, and the increasing interplay between law firm fee structures and external finance.

The emergence of third-party funding in investor-state dispute settlement adds to the problems and challenges already facing a dispute resolution regime whose compatibility with sustainable economic and social development goals, if not its entire legitimacy, has been called into question. A task force jointly constituted by ICCA and Queen Mary University of London recently produced a report in which it articulated principles relating to disclosure and conflicts of interest, privilege and professional secrecy, the allocation of costs, and security for costs, which were intended to introduce clarity and consistency into third-party-funding practices in international arbitration. Although promising in some respects, the principles were conservative in others. This article identifies some shortcomings in the principles put forward by the task force and proposes adjustments to some of their conservative aspects. In so doing, it touches on the broader question of the suitability of third-party funding to investor-state dispute settlement, given the system’s particularities.

Article 34: Awards, orders, decisions and rulings 34.1 In addition to making a final award, the arbitral tribunal may make interim, interlocutory or partial awards, orders, decisions and rulings. 34.2 When there is more than one arbitrator, any award, order, decision or ruling of the arbitral tribunal shall be made unanimously or, failing unanimity, by a majority of the arbitrators. 34.3 When the parties or the arbitral tribunal so authorize, the presiding arbitrator alone may make orders, decisions or rulings on questions of procedure, including exchanges of information, subject to revision by the arbitral tribunal. Article 35: Time, form and effect of award 35.1 The arbitral tribunal shall deliberate and issue its final award as soon as possible after the close of proceedings, and, unless otherwise agreed by the parties or determined by the Chamber, the final award shall be made no later than 60 days from the date of the close of proceedings. 35.2 Awards shall be made in writing, and the arbitral tribunal shall state the reasons upon which an award is based, unless the parties have agreed in writing that no reasons need be given. 35.3 A monetary award shall be in the currency or currencies of the contract unless the arbitral tribunal considers another currency more appropriate. 35.4 An award shall be signed by the arbitral tribunal and shall state the date on which the award was made and the place of arbitration pursuant to Article 19.Where there is more than one arbitrator and any of them fails to sign an award, the award shall include a statement of the reasons for the absence of such signature. 35.5 Awards shall be final and binding on the parties, who shall carry out any award without delay and, absent written agreement otherwise, waive irrevocably their right to any form of appeal, review, or recourse to any court or other judicial authority, insofar as such waiver can validly be made. 35.6 The arbitral tribunal shall retain for each of its members one signed original of the award, and shall transmit to the Chamber as many signed originals as there are parties, plus one signed original for the Chamber, which shall communicate the award to the parties as soon as practicable. 35.7 If the applicable law requires an award to be filed or registered, the arbitral tribunal shall use its best endeavors to cause such requirement to be satisfied.
