THE DUTY TO DISCLOSE, OF IMPARTIALITY AND THE ASSESSMENT OF BIAS IN INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION: COMMENTS ON HALLIBURTON COMPANY V CHUBB BERMUDA INSURANCE LIMITED

Abstract

This study is a case comment on the issues of the duty to disclose, the duty of impartiality and the duty to assess bias in international arbitration as determined by the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom. The study sees in the judgement of the Court a model of approach to be adopted globally. The paper recommends that courts in Africa and European countries should adopt the approach and the standard set by the UK Supreme Court in this case to handle similar International Arbitration issues in their countries for the development of their Bar Associations for innovation, judicial activism and sustainable development.
