The Africa Arbitration Academy Protocol on Virtual Hearings in Africa has been shortlisted for the GAR Pandemic Response Award 2020.
he Africa Arbitration Academy Protocol on Virtual Hearings in Africa has been shortlisted for the GAR Pandemic Response Award 2020. This special recognition award will be handed out at GAR’s first virtual award ceremony, paying tribute to the response by the international arbitration community to the coronavirus pandemic. In an excellent review of the Protocol by some barristers at 33Bedfordrow in London, they commended some of the innovative provisons of the Protocol inclucing the Virtual Hearing Agreement. They noted that “Given the reality that in many countries around the world, courts lack both familiarity with arbitration and trust in the suitability of online dispute resolution, the incorporation into the Protocol of the “Pre-Virtual Hearing Agreement” is a decision for which many parties will ultimately be grateful.” The Protocol is now a reference point for parties and arbitral tribunals in Africa.

Paris Arbitration Week offers glimpse of virtual future
The organisers of Paris Arbitration Week say the decision to move the event online offers a chance to meet demand and reach a wider audience, in what could be a sign of things to come. When Covid-19 forced a change from Paris Arbitration Week’s original late March date to 6 July, many lawyers were still adjusting to the full implications of living and working under lockdown. In the intervening months the arbitral community has got to grips with the challenges of , and the opportunities too, and that is now extending to events, with Paris Arbitration Week now set to take place as a purely online event next month.

New arbitration scheme to address civil litigation backlog
Although courts will begin to address the COVID-19 backlog, civil litigation may still be left behind. Speaking to Lawyers Weekly, two barristers explain how a new arbitration scheme at their Sydney chambers will begin to pick up this slack. While Australian courts adapted quickly to the COVID-19 pandemic, they still struggled to avoid a backlog. Now that courts are opening up again, two barristers told Lawyers Weekly that while the justice system turns its attention to clearing out the criminal work, civil litigation may be left behind and will be in need of some renewed attention. “What that means is civil cases are going to be a lot harder [to get before the courts],” said Mark Brabazon SC. “They will take longer to get on also because everything does take longer with these coronavirus restrictions. Our scheme [bypasses] these delays – and we talk about it being done just, quick and cheap.”

Video, virtual hearings and 'e-bundles': how remote justice is being served in art cases
Just a few months ago, talk in UK art law circles was dominated by the latest round of anti-money laundering regulations—rules that looked set to prompt a seismic transformation of the art market. Today, the regulations are far from the priority for lawyers or the art market, as both adapt to the far-reaching implications of the coronavirus pandemic.
