Greetings from CILS Arbitration Symposium!!! Session 7: Tribunals’ Options when Parties Present Two Extreme Damages Models? This panel will explore various approaches to address the common scenario in investment and commercial disputes where the parties' damage claims stem from significantly different models and are considered extreme. Comprising individuals with experience as experts, arbitrators, and counsel in both commercial and investor-state disputes, the panel will assess the tools available to arbitrators in such situations. This includes considering the appointment of an independent expert by the tribunal, utilizing hot-tubbing, and employing pre- or post-hearing techniques. The discussion will also delve into differences between civil and common-law approaches, strategic considerations influencing more extreme approaches, and the influence (and potential limitations) of applicable law. #DisputeResolution #InvestmentDisputes #CommercialDisputes #Arbitration #DamageClaims #ExpertWitness #ArbitrationTools #LegalApproaches #CivilLaw #CommonLaw #ArbitrationStrategy
