But w hat does this duty require, and how is it policed? The English Supreme Cou rt case of Halliburton v Chubb has thrown a spotlight on the interaction be tween the duty of impartiality and disclosure, particularly in the context of arbitrators accepting multiple appointments, but this is not the whole s tory. In this webinar, our three eminent speakers bring experiences as cou nsel, arbitrator and arbitral institution that bear on this important topic to discuss:\nwhat it means to be “impartial”, and how this relates to “ind ependence”;whether an arbitrator’s duty of impartiality should be equated w ith that of a judge;what recent authorities tell us about the duty of discl osure and impartiality, and how Halliburton v Chubb compares with decisions from other key jurisdictions (such as BYL v BYN [2020] SGHC 6);practical p oints for counsel/arbitrators to bear in mind when approaching questions of disclosure and conflicts of interest at different stages of a dispute (e.g ., at the point of arbitrator appointment, during the arbitration, and at t he enforcement or challenge stage); when an arbitrator’s conduct of the pro ceedings (as opposed to links to the parties or other participants) may cas t doubt on his or her impartiality;the significance of “soft rules” such as the IBA Guidelines and grey areas that remain; andtransparency and the rol e of the institution in policing the arbitrators.
