They explore whether there could be a future obligation to disclose the use of AI in arbitration proceedings.

Settlements are very common in Germany and often the judge actively suggest the parties to settle the dispute. In other countries, however, something like that is unbelievable.

Zum Finale der dritten Staffel begrüßen Lisa Reiser und Markus Altenkirch fast 100 Jahre geballte Schiedserfahrung mit ihren Gästen Dr. Werner Müller und Dr. Fabian von Schlabrendorff. Statt in die leuchtende Zukunft der Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit, schauen sie gemeinsam in die goldene Vergangenheit und das, was damals Zukunft gewesen und heute Gegenwart geworden ist.

Dreh- und Angelpunkt beim Schiedsverfahren sind die Schiedsrichter. Doch was, wenn eine der Parteien behauptet, die Schiedsrichter seien befangen, mit der Gegenseite gar im Bunde? Könnten weitreichende Offenlegungspflichten die Lösung für dieses Problem darstellen? Gemeinsam mit ihren beiden Gästen Korinna von Trotha und Dr. David Tebel diskutieren unsere beiden Moderatoren Lisa Reiser und Markus Altenkirch die Zukunftsthese: "In der #zukunftgilt bei der Offenlegung möglicher Konflikte als Schiedsrichter der Grundsatz in dubio pro disclosure."
