Beskrivning
The book deals with set-off in international arbitration proceedings. In these proceedings, set-off is frequently the tool relied upon to resist a claim. At the same time, the legal intricacies make it hard to use. The first part of the book provides a survey of set-off, including its definition, significance and functions. The second part offers a thorough comparative analysis of selected European laws of set-off and reveals the dramatic differences between them. The third and last part of the book deals with the problematic consequences of these differences and shows the limits and the inadequacy of the traditional choice-of-law doctrines. While demonstrating how to overcome the practical hurdles of the present situation, the third part also offers normative alternatives that should provide significant help in the adjudication of commercial disputes.

Recensioner i media

Regardless of whether one agrees or disagrees with this finding and the underlying reasoning, the author first of all deserves credit for suggesting a well argued uniform set-off rule for international arbitration. ...the book will certainly serve as a thorough and reliable overview of certain jurisdictions as regards their approach to set-off and as a practical guide for arbitration practitioners to finding and supporting legal arguments to establish the best applicable set-off rule in a cross-border context. The author's clear diction and ability to take the reader by the hand makes Set-off Defences in International Commercial Arbitration an accessible and seizable topic on only 228 pages. Dr. Philipp K. Wagner Schieds VZ 2012, Heft 2
