Iyo ang China, Akin ang New York: Why the China Chang Doctrine Poses Potential Conflict with the New York Convention

It is prudent to first assess if the exclusive jurisdiction of the CIAC will not be a stumbling block to the enforceability of the arbitral award if the arbitral award is sought to be enforced outside Philippine jurisdiction.

OVERVIEW

Philippine law has vested the CIAC with exclusive jurisdiction to arbitrate construction disputes. This course will examine the relationship between the exclusive jurisdiction of the Construction Industry Arbitration Commission (CIAC) over construction arbitration disputes and the obligation of the Philippines under the New York Convention to recognize arbitration agreements and arbitral awards involving other jurisdictions.

This course will present a certain measure of caution which the stakeholders in construction arbitration – parties and counsel – must be aware of when they submit to CIAC jurisdiction.

At the end of this course, you should be able to: 

  • State the purpose behind the creation of CIAC,
  • Identify the exclusive jurisdiction of the CIAC,
  • Describe the New York Convention and how it relates to CIAC, and
  • Explain the potential consequences of enforcing the exclusive jurisdiction of the CIAC if there is a potential conflict with a foreign jurisdiction.
