5th Annual Düsseldorf International Arbitration School
Event | 09.26.11 - 09.30.11, 12:00 AM UTC - 12:00 AM UTC
The five-day Düsseldorf International Arbitration School aims at providing young practitioners, post graduates and advanced students – especially Moot Court participants – with the requisite specific knowledge. The School is based on a highly practical, inter-active teaching concept. Participants get the rare opportunity to improve their skills and knowledge in both the law and practice of international commercial arbitration.
The participants may accompany these practitioners on an exciting quest: the search for efficient and fair dispute resolution in a world where there is no “non-national commercial court of compulsory jurisdiction” - a world where the two major legal systems come together and merge. Each day will have a different theme - with a special focus on investment arbitration on the last day.
Baiju Vasani is speaking on the topics, "Evolution of Investment Arbitration" and "Investment Arbitration in Emergency Situations." Birgit Kurtz will speak on the topic, "Section 1782 and Discovery in Aid of Arbitration Proceedings."

Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today
Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today: In 1997, the California Supreme Court decided Buss v. Superior Court. In Buss, the court concluded that a liability insurer that defended a mixed action could seek reimbursement from the insured for the defense costs associated with the claims that were not even potentially covered. Since then, numerous courts have held that insurers are entitled to recoup their defense costs associated with uncovered claims or causes of action. On the other hand, a significant number of courts have rejected insurers’ right to recoupment, at least in the absence of a policy provision granting the insurer that right. Some commentators have even suggested that the current judicial trend might be away from permitting insurers to recoup their defense costs. Is that correct? Has the Buss stopped? This panel of coverage experts will analyze insurers’ claimed right to recoupment today, and offer their perspectives on what the law on recoupment should perhaps be and might be in the future.
