SCC Seminar in Minsk
The SCC in cooperation with the Embassy of Sweden in Minsk and the Eastern European Dispute Resolu­tion Forum organized an international seminar in Minsk on 21 September 2017. On the agenda was the innovations in the 2017 SCC Arbitration Rules.
On 1 January 2017 a new version of the SCC Arbitration Rules entered into force. While maintaining continuity of what could be described as the essence of an SCC arbitration, the new SCC Arbitration Rules introduce a number of notewort­hy improvements aimed at efficiency of arbitral proceedings, including summary procedure, joinder of third parties and handling of multiple claims in a single arbitration.

The seminar provides an opportunity for the participants to acquaint themselves and to discuss the details of the SCC’s innovative procedures as well as to attend a mock session featuring the SCC emergency procedure. Among the speakers are experts in international arbitration based in Stockholm, Minsk, London and Moscow.

The seminar will conclude with a Minsk premier of the film The Quiet Triumph: How Arbitration Changed the World.
