South African Lawyer Zuko Nonxuba Co-Authors a New Article

By: Get News

The noted arbitration lawyer lent his expertise to help craft an essay explaining the intricacies of international commercial arbitration.

In the autumn of 2022, renowned South African arbitration lawyer Zuko Nonxuba was approached by freelance journalist Stephanie Ross to consult on the writing of a new essay outlining the finer points of international commercial arbitration, he agreed readily, eager to share his accumulated knowledge on the subject with the public. The article, which is titled What Is International Commercial Arbitration? Zuko Nonxuba Sheds Insight, was published on September 28, 2022 by an online periodical that focuses on matters of business, finance, and technology.

In one segment of the text, Zuko gives a precise definition of international commercial arbitration for anyone who might be unfamiliar with the term, before proceeding to explain why it is a favored method of dispute resolution. “International commercial arbitration is a process whereby disputes between parties from different countries are resolved through arbitration rather than through litigation in court,” he states, elaborating, “This process has many benefits compared to other methods of resolving cross-border disputes. First, arbitration is generally quicker and less expensive than litigation. Second, it is less likely to lead to acrimonious relations between the parties involved. Third, the arbitral award is typically final and binding on the parties, meaning there is no need for lengthy and costly appeals processes. Finally, arbitral tribunals are typically composed of experts in the relevant field, which can add an extra layer of fairness and objectivity to the process.”

Further along in the essay, Zuko Nonxubo delves into great detail describing the actual step-by-step process of international commercial arbitration, writing, “First, the parties involved in the dispute agree to submit their disagreement to arbitration. This agreement can be reached before or after a dispute arises. Second, the parties select an arbitral tribunal to hear their case. This tribunal can be composed of one or more arbitrators, typically experts in the relevant field. Third, the tribunal hears evidence and arguments from both sides and renders a decision (known as an arbitral award). This award is typically final and binding on the parties. Finally, if either party is unhappy with the arbitral award, they may appeal to a court. However, such appeals are typically rare, as courts respect the awards that arbitral tribunals receive.”

Reached for comment, Zuko Nonxuba issued the following statement: “It was my great pleasure to collaborate in writing this article. Hopefully, those who read it come away with a greater knowledge and understanding of international commercial arbitration and the many ways this useful legal mechanism can resolve disputes between parties both large and small.”
