Pris: 280 SEK exkl. moms  |  In 1977, the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce procured the publication of Arbitration in Sweden. The book was the first to comprehensively cover international commercial arbitration in Sweden in the English language. Although primarily written by Dr. Ulf Holmbäck in consultation with Dr. J. Gillis Wetter, several eminent Swedish lawyers reviewed and commented on the manuscript. Due to its inherent quality and its endorsement from the Swedish commercial arbitration community, Arbitration in Sweden soon became the legal reference work for commercial arbitration in Sweden. However, following a second edition in 1984, the book has not subsequently been updated.
The increased importance of Sweden as a centre for resolution of international commercial disputes and the surge of arbitration cases in Stockholm has lead to numerous new precedents and a vast amount of publications in books and journals dealing with Swedish arbitration law issues. Moreover, in 1999 a new Arbitration Act was enacted in Sweden. Since 1984, the Arbitration Rules of the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce have been revised several times, the latest edition is in force as of 1 January 2010. Although many of the conclusions in the second edition of Arbitration in Sweden are valid to this day, the book can no longer serve as the reference work for international commercial arbitration in Sweden.
Recognising this, the Swedish Arbitration Association in 2008 initiated the work with a new legal reference work on international commercial arbitration in Sweden. The book was to be based on a similar methodology as that of Arbitration in Sweden 1977. The project has continuously been supported by the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce.
Following an application process among many skilled Swedish arbitration lawyers, the executive committee of the Swedish Arbitration Association selected four lawyers from four different law firms, Fredrik Andersson of Mannheimer Swartling, Therese Isaksson of Advokatfirman Lindahl, Marcus Johansson of Gernandt & DanielssonAdvokatbyrå and Ola Nilsson of White & Case to co-author the book under the editorship of Justice Johnny Herre.
The purpose of this book is to provide a rather concise analysis and description of Swedish international arbitration law as of 30 June 2011, thereby making such information more readily available to arbitrators, counsel and other professionals acting in Swedish international arbitral proceedings. The goal has been that the book should cover those areas of arbitration law that such professionals reasonably could expect to be informed about.
