Welcome to the 12th issue of ReSolution® in which we draw on the experience and knowledge of leading experts in the field to bring you commentary, articles and reviews on topical matters relating to domestic and international dispute resolution. In this issue we feature the financial sector with articles on the ICC Report on Financial Institutions and Arbitration, and expert determination in the context of the recent High Court decision in the Peregrine Wines shareholder dispute. We also look at the study of neuroscience and its relevance to mediation, the little understood default appointment procedure for arbitrators in domestic arbitration, litigation funding in international arbitration, witness preparation in international arbitration, and more. In Case in Brief, Sarah Redding discusses the recent highly publicised decision of the Hong Kong Court of Appeal in the Astro case in which the court dismissed an out of time appeal against enforcement and confirmed the ‘choice of remedies’ principle whereby an unsuccessful party to an international arbitration can choose to ‘passively oppose enforcement’ of an award. I wish to take this opportunity to thank all our contributors. We are most grateful for the support we receive from dispute resolution professionals, law firms, and publishers, locally and overseas, that allows us to share with you papers and articles of a world-class standard, and to bring you a broad perspective on the law and evolving trends in the delivery and practice of domestic and international dispute resolution.
