Arbitration laws and rules routinely provide for a mechanism to challenge arbitrators. While challenges to arbitrators are, at least in Hong Kong arbitration, not often sustained, any challenge made will disrupt proceedings, add delay and increase costs.

The participants will also have an opportunity to exchange views with the trainers on practical issues arising from two real-life challenge scenarios.
