In international arbitration, the inclusion of party-appointed experts in the proceedings has become a common practice in both commercial and investment arbitration. However, debates regarding the independence and impartiality of these experts constitute one of the most criticized aspects of this mechanism. In this comprehensive work, Dr. Ömer Faruk Kafalı addresses these debates, offering a balanced and functional framework for the use of party-appointed experts in international arbitration.
Published as Volume 79 of the International Arbitration Law Library series, the work examines in detail topics such as the legal status of experts, their duties and responsibilities, standards of impartiality, and procedural mechanisms. The book also analyzes practical applications such as cross-examination, simultaneous hearings, and joint report preparation, along with a theoretical background.
This work serves as an important reference source for academics, arbitration lawyers, arbitrators, and institutional representatives. Published by a prestigious publishing house such as Wolters Kluwer, this work reinforces Ibn Haldun University's contribution to the international law literature while also strengthening UÇAM's global academic visibility.
