This course aims to provide students with the requisite knowledge of and practice in formulating and drafting a final, reasoned and enforceable arbitration award in an international commercial dispute. 

This course will focus on the following key elements to assist the student in drafting an enforceable arbitration award:

1. How to draft and communicate arbitral awards;
2. Types of awards;
3. Deliberations and decision making;
4. Form and context of arbitral awards;
5. Effect of the final award

This course enhances the student’s ability to carry out independent research and acquire knowledge through self-study thus enabling students to demonstrate an ability to:

• analyse the facts and documents in arbitration proceedings and organise decisions on the facts and the law; and
• to write an enforceable, reasoned award which deals with matters in dispute in a clear and logical manner, using appropriate terminology, and taking into account the use of grammar, punctuation and spelling.
