Advokat James Hope and advokat Marcus Eklund at Vinge have contributed an article entitled Approaches to Evidence across Legal Cultures in the recently published "Guide to Evidence in International Arbitration - Second edition" published by GAR.
The article provides an overview of the taking of evidence in international arbitration in light of different legal traditions. The article gives the reader an overview of the different approaches depending on the legal background of the parties, which can often lead to divergent expectations. The reader is thus also given some practical advice and recommendations on how to avoid these challenges.
