Witnesses: asset, alibi, or liability? - Usefulness, relevance, fragilities and risks as seen by counsel, arbitrators, judges and users

Presentation

Darrois Partners, Prof. Laurent Aynès and Carine Dupeyron, invite you to an insightful exploration of when witness evidence truly advances fact-finding in international arbitration—and when it merely adds cost, noise, or bias. Expect a pragmatic, comparative look at accusatorial and inquisitorial practices with concrete, take-home tools—issue lists, block time limits, and tribunal-led questioning—plus guidance on selection strategy, preparation ethics, credibility criteria, and safeguards against cultural or language bias in evaluating testimony.
