7LLAW015W International Commercial Arbitration Assignment Brief

Question: 

Please advise the parties involved in each of the two arbitration proceedings—the BoL  arbitration and the Agreement arbitration. Support your response with references to relevant  legal principles and published sources. 

Parts (A) and (B) above comprise the whole question. 

This assessment carries 20% of the total marks for the module. 

1. You are required to respond to the above question by preparing an essay which is  1,000 words in length (+ / - 10%). 

2. Although marks are not awarded separately for each of the two parts, your overall   mark for this essay will be seriously reduced if you fail to answer each part effectively.  

3. Please use one side only of each sheet of paper. 

4. Please remember to number the pages. 

5. Please use double line spacing for the body of the essay and single line spacing for   footnotes and bibliography. 

6. The essay must be researched, written-up, and typed by you; presented in Times New   Roman, font size 12; with 2.0 spacing; and with standard margins (2.54cms top and   bottom, and 2.54cms left and right). 

7. Please remember to use footnotes, and to include a bibliography at the end of your   essay. 

8. You must use double inverted commas (“---”) to indicate extracts from published   sources (including books, articles, statutes, case reports, and internet sources).   An ‘extract’ means that you are taking the exact words from the published source. 

9. You must not use double inverted commas to indicate paraphrases of text found in   published sources (books and other sources as indicated above). A ‘paraphrase’ is the   taking of an author’s ideas but not the exact words of the author. 

10. You must acknowledge the sources that you use, whether you take extracts or   paraphrase from published sources; and you must acknowledge authors’ work even   where referring to them but without extracting or paraphrasing from their work. 

11. Each source must be acknowledged by a full reference and citation at the point at which   the source is first mentioned, and then again whenever the sources is used subsequently. 

12. Please state at the end of the bibliography the number of words used. Unless there is a   misuse of the footnote system, the word count does not include footnotes; and the word   count does not include the bibliography. 

13. The assessment criteria are set out in the Student Handbook. 

14. You are advised to formulate your own opinions in response to the essay question.   And, as noted above, you must reference every statement of fact, law, and opinion   (other than your own unique opinion) which you use in your essay. 

15. You are advised to prepare all your work, including drafts of your essay, in   handwriting and to preserve all your written work, print outs, and electronically stored   research work, drafts and final version at least until after you have been notified of   your degree result. This is in case you are required to submit to a viva assessment.  

16.
