The Chambers and Partners 2024 Aviation Finance & Leasing Practice Guide includes an 11-page article by Paul P. Jebely, The Hague Court of Arbitration for Aviation's founder and present chairperson, which is entitled "Arbitration and Mediation for Aviation". In it, Mr. Jebely begins: "Aviation v Inertia In physics, inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state. Newton’s first law provides that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. The vast global aviation industry has been at war with inertia every second of every day for over a century. In the most obvious sense, we prevail constantly in taking flight by using thrust and lift against inertia. Thankfully so, given that our industry is a crucial artery of world commerce which contributes nearly $3 trillion to its gross domestic product annually. We have, however, largely failed in the battle against inertia in a less obvious sense over the last century. Ours is an industry where contractual disputes have been an undeniable reality for over a century, yet our preferred methods of contractual dispute resolution have been grounded in the archaic. Thankfully, we are now amidst an industry and legal paradigm shift – slowly, then suddenly. But a paradigm shift does not happen in a vacuum. It shifts start as a whisper, an idea that slowly gains momentum, challenging the status quo, until, suddenly, the “new” becomes the norm. Inertia is a key force behind why aviation was somehow left behind and so remained as one of the final nearly untouched frontiers of arbitration and mediation prior to the launch of The Hague Court of Arbitration for Aviation (The Hague CAA). Two years since that launch, The Hague CAA already stands as a beacon of specialised knowledge and expertise in aviation contractual dispute resolution, and it is just getting started."

Team Hague CAA in London last week for a wonderfully engaging panel session at the Airline Economics conference. With our arbitration and mediation clauses included in billions of Dollars of aviation contracts in just over two years since our launch (not to mention the ever-expanding inclusion of arbitration and mediation in aviation more generally as a result of our efforts), we are certainly doing our part to shift an age-old industry legal paradigm, one clause at a time. www.HagueCAA.org #aviation #arbitration #mediation
