Book excerpt: Driven to a significant extent by Pakistan’s rapidly growing status in trade and economic partnerships – in particular considering the country’s role in the China and Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) – interest in Pakistan’s dispute settlement regime is on the rise. This ground-breaking book, by Pakistan’s best-known arbitrator, practitioner, and legal scholar, is the first in any language to provide in-depth coverage of all significant topics of Pakistani law on both domestic and foreign arbitration, ranging from drafting of the arbitration agreement to the enforcement of arbitral awards. With comprehensive coverage of Pakistani statutes and case law affecting arbitration and bilateral investment treaties (BITs), the author describes and analyses such issues and topics as the following: concepts of separability, arbitrability, and competence-competence; rules governing the conclusion, interpretation, and enforcement of arbitration agreements; grounds on which courts assume jurisdiction; legal issues pertaining to the stay of court proceedings in relation to both domestic and foreign arbitration; constitution of arbitral tribunals; interim measures; judicial review of both domestic and foreign arbitral awards; and available remedies of appeal and revision. Positioned to become the preeminent authority on the arbitration law of Pakistan, this book will be welcomed not only by Pakistani practitioners, arbitrators, judges, students, and academics as the first practical guide to arbitration practice and procedure in their country but also by foreign practitioners approaching Pakistani courts seeking interim measures and enforcement of arbitration agreements and arbitral awards. In addition, both domestic and foreign businessmen will discover clear paths to well-informed decisions on investment and commercial issues involving Pakistan.
