Confidentiality in Arbitration by Quentin Loh Sze On SC | 2007*

Confidentiality in arbitration is generally regarded as an established principle in England. However, within the context of international arbitration, the recognition and application of arbitration confidentiality have not been consistent across jurisdictions. This monograph seeks to provide an in-depth examination of the concept of confidentiality in arbitration proceedings, including its limitations and exceptions. It analyses English case law and compares the approach adopted in other jurisdictions, including Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Sweden, France, Germany, and Singapore.
