This book is directed at parties, practitioners, and courts interested in arbitration, offering them a guideline on and in particular an overview of the effects of localising arbitration proceedings and laying down the seat of a court of arbitration.  The place where the seat of a court of arbitration has been determined to be is of crucial importance for carrying out the proceedings.  The ability of the parties to choose the seat of the court of arbitration at will – it may meet at any location, regardless of its seat – is a substantial advantage of arbitration proceedings as compared to proceedings in a court of law.  The Liechtenstein Code of Civil Procedure, which is discussed here, offers a conclusive and seamless set of rules for determining the seat of a court of arbitration, so that it is ensured that arbitration proceedings will be carried out under any circumstances.  The clause “Arbitration in Liechtenstein” is sufficiently specific as a result of its clear and simple jurisdiction rule, also in comparison with Switzerland and Austria.

If an employee works hours in addition to the maximum amount of working time per week allowed by the Employment Act, the employer must pay the employee, on his/her request, for the overtime hours a statutory supplement of 25% in addition to his/her base salary. This also applies even if an agreement has been made on lump-sum remuneration for overtime hours in the employment contract.

A major factor in deciding on the place of arbitration is what effect a jurisdiction grants to arbitral awards. This article looks at the point in time when the arbitral award becomes legally binding, what effects it has, the conditions under which it enters into force and effect for the parties involved and whether or under what conditions its legal force is extended to third parties.
