Niuscha Bassiri published on the arbitral tribunal's role in default arbitral proceedings

18 April 2025

In this Kluwer publication, Niuscha Bassiri discussed the role of arbitrators in proceedings with a non-participating party. As a "devil's advocate", Niuscha Bassiri opines that arbitral tribunals should test participating parties' claims to ensure procedural fairness and the integrity of the award.

This article is based on Niuscha's presentation at the 2022 CEPANI, The Belgian Center for Arbitration and Mediation Colloquium on default in international arbitration proceedings.

Niuscha Bassiri, 'Devil’s Advocate – Counterintuitive? – What, Why and Who Is The Devil’s Advocate in Default Proceedings?', in Dirk De Meulemeester (ed), Default in International Arbitration: Striking the Balance, (Kluwer Law International; Wolters Kluwer 2022)
