💯 During our centenary year #ICCCourtat100, we are curious to hear how ICC became the flagship in international arbitration and what makes the #ICCCourt so special and unique. 🎤 Today’s video is an excerpt from an interview with José Ricardo Feris, former Deputy Secretary General of the ICC International Court of Arbitration and current Vice Chair of the ICC Commission on Arbitration and ADR. 🗣 “The headquarters of the ICC Court might be in Paris, but it is truly an international organisation, based in more than five continents. That global reach, the fact that all practitioners in the world have had an ICC arbitration or they identify with the values of the ICC, is what makes the Court truly unique.” #ICCArbitration

Bollhorn v Lakehouse Custom Homes is a heartening development in the BC Court of Appeals jurisprudence on commercial arbitration. The key point for me is that the Court upheld the bar on appeals on points of law contained in the Expedited Procedures under the Vancouver International Arbitration Centre (VanIAC) Domestic Arbitration Rules. Importantly, the Court held that, but for the Expedited Procedures provisions, it would have granted leave to appeal because the applicant raised questions of law of "sufficient importance" to justify leave to appeal. To me, this decision represents a victory for party autonomy, a principle that the BCCA has at times honoured more in the breach than in the observance. Expedited arbitration procedures like those in the VanIAC Rules are chosen by parties because they offer a quicker, cheaper path to a definitive resolution of their dispute. An appeal waiver is part (arguably, a necessary part) of that choice. By contracting for the VanIAC Rules and arbitrating under its Expedited Procedures, the parties clearly expressed their intention to waive the rights of appeal that they would otherwise have under BC's Arbitration Act. Whatever one thinks of the appropriate scope of appeals from arbitration in principle, our legislation appropriately permits parties to waive rights of appeal, and now the BC courts have correctly held that such a waiver can be effected by choosing institutional rules that contain an appeal bar. Kudos to the BCCA for getting this one right, and to Robert Deane, Sarah McEachern, and everyone else who worked on this case (whom I don't know to credit by name but I think include Mark Danielson).
