The 2nd CIArb Asia Pacific Diploma in International Commercial Arbitration was held in Hong Kong from 21 to 29 October 2017. The course was jointly organised by the Australia, East Asia and Singapore branches of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators and its inaugural edition in Singapore was successfully launched in 2016.

The course faculty comprised international arbitration experts from across Asia-Pacific and around the world led by the course directors Richard Leung and Francis Xavier SC, Immediate Past Chairmen for East Asia Branch and Singapore respectively.

A record-breaking participation of 36 participants from Australia, Singapore, India, Switzerland, Germany, Philippines, Indonesia, France, Italy, Oman, Mexico other than Hong Kong and Mainland China attended the course.

The course venues were sponsored by King & Wood Mallesons, Stevenson Wong & Co, Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC) and Cliftons Hong Kong.

During the interactive 9-day program, participants were exposed to the practice of international commercial arbitration, covering major forms of arbitration and arbitration institutions such as ICC, ACICA, HKIAC, SIAC and CIETAC with the mission to help participants to gain the ability to appear in or act as an arbitrator or counsel in different contexts. In addition, participants also took part in practical group workshops under the guidance of experienced arbitrators and were given practical training addressing a range of problems which may arise in the course of conducting an international arbitration.

Apart from attending classes and tutorial workshop, participants also joined in 3 social networking events: Casual Meet & Greet Session at the Empire Hotel Wan Chai Hong Kong; The Symphony of Light Boat Cruise sponsored by Des Voeux Chambers and a special Gala Dinner hosted at the prestigious Hong Kong Bankers Club which was attended by Guest of Honour, Mr Wesley Wong SC, Solicitor General of Hong Kong.

Mr. Wesley Wong SC during his Opening Remarks mentioned,
“On a more serious note, I don’t think it is any exaggeration to say that the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators is part and parcel of the history of a determined global attempt which has led to the success of raising the status of arbitration to the dignity of a distinct and recognise position as one of the learned professions.

As a matter of fact, the promotion of private dispute resolution has been one of the Government’s top policy objectives, as can be seen in all annual Policy Addresses since 2013 in two successive terms of government, including that promulgated by the incumbent Chief Executive Mrs Carrie Lam two weeks ago (11 October 2017).”

The 3rd Asia Pacific Diploma in International Commercial Arbitration 2018 will be taking place in Perth, Australia. For more information, please log on to www.ciarb.net.au
