Challenge Decision Database The tables below contain links to digests of LCIA arbitration challenge decisions from October 2010 to December 2022. This is provided as a research tool for users, counsel, and arbitrators. Each digest contains a brief summary of the background to the challenge, as well as an anonymised excerpt of the relevant decision. Written challenge decisions are an invaluable resource for users, counsel, and arbitrators – they give guidance in relation to acceptable standards of conduct, and provide a greater understanding of the reasoning applied by the Court. The challenge decisions are each published as single decision PDFs, with the most recent batch of decisions also published as a consolidated text. Additional commentary about the LCIA’s challenge decisions can be found here for August 2017 – December 2022 and here for October 2010 – July 2017. The challenge decision database will be updated periodically when new decisions are issued, increasing its usefulness over time.
