The recent law suits filed against arbitrators in Dubai seated arbitrations, have shown to be a hot topic in the international arbitration community. Unfortunately, to date, there has not been enough information shared with the public, other than hearsay, on the decisions issued by the Dubai Courts on those matters. Through five cases originally administered by the Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC), the Courts have dismissed the allegations made against the arbitral tribunals. The particularities, Courts’ decisions and analysis contained in this research seek to shed light on the arbitration friendly approach followed by the Dubai Courts, which should continue to hold Dubai as a safe seat for arbitration practitioners to accept appointments.
