This fourth series of cases brought before the Cairo Regional Centre for International Commercial Arbitration introduces some of the most important arbitration cases involving major construction companies from Europe and the United States during the past decade. Manifesting once again the Centree DEGREES--s hybrid procedures that permit the harmonization of legal cultures among parties while rigorously adhering to the agreements between the parties, all applicable law, and guarantees of defence, this volume provides full details on seven cases, dealing with disputes pursuant to major construction contracts (an airport, a Red Sea port, a Mediterranean tourist resort, and a power plant), and disputes over the validity of the arbitration clause and the dispute resolution procedure itself.
As in previous volumes in the series, the sections on each of the seven cases include full or only slightly abridged summaries of the actual awards, with detailed commentaries. Although these awards were rendered in English; they were edited and commented by the prominent legal scholar, arbitrator, and lawyer Dr. Mohie Eldin I. Alam-Eldin. His in-depth commentary on the cases encompasses discussion of emerging new arbitral trends and principles and new approaches to arbitration engendered by the ever-growing and changing practices and patterns of international trade.
