Arbitration in Denmark

The book gives an easily accessible presentation of arbitration in Denmark. The book is based on the Danish Arbitration Act 2005 (which is based on the UNCITRAL model Law) and the Rules of Arbitration Procedure of the Danish Institute of Arbitration, with the main emphasis on the latter. It is the intention that the book will serve as an introduction, especially for non-Danish lawyers and their clients who are or who expect to become involved in arbitration proceedings in Denmark. The book is also helpful for non-Danish lawyers and companies who are considering to enter into an arbitration agreement that requires that the place of arbitration is in Denmark. Finally, the book is useful to those who are appointed as arbitrators in international arbitration proceedings in Denmark.

The book contains the follow chapters:

Ch. 1: Introduction to conflict resolution in Denmark

Ch. 2: The relationship between arbitration and the ordinary courts

Ch. 3: The commencement of arbitration proceedings

Ch. 4: The appointment and confirmation of arbitrators

Ch. 5: Provisions of security
