Arbitration in Italy. Litigation Procedures in Arbitral Practice

It is the purpose of this chapter to reveal the extent to which arbitration processes follow litigation procedures in (inter)national contexts. To attain this goal, this study will investigate those legal aspects in arbitral awards which have caused a modification of Italian arbitration practices in terms of intentions, purposes, and processes. The results will demonstrate that linguistic integrity in international arbitration is far from being adopted: arbitration encourages the exploitation of litigation features particularly in the discourse of awards.
