Panel I Exploring the Future: Adopting ICC Arbitration under the Amended Japan Arbitration Act In response to the need for efficiency in international dispute resolution, the Japanese government has been taking substantial measures to strengthen the effectiveness of arbitration by amending the Arbitration Act (Act No.15 of 2023) and enacting the Act for Im`plementation of the United Nations Convention on International Settlement Agreements Resulting from Mediation (Act No.16 of 2023) , which are to take effect on April 1st, 2024). The amendments encompass multifaceted enhancements from aspects of enforceability of arbitral tribunal’s interim relief, special jurisdiction of the Tokyo/Osaka District Court on all arbitration-related court cases, etc. The panel will conduct a comprehensive exploration on the key features of these amendments and discover how businesses will adopt ICC arbitration while taking advantage of these amended Acts.

Panel II At the Threshold of an Era: Navigating AI in Dispute Settlement Landscape Arbitration has been used as a business tool to solve disputes for thousands of years. Various sparks would ignite in a dynamic encounter when AI penetrates into dispute settlement. This panel is keen to explore the trajectory of use of Ai in dispute settlement. For example, there have been efforts to predict the judgment, create judgement or assist the judges to determine the contents of the judgment. Also, with the arrangement in the technology of generative AI, like ChatGPT, the range of possibility where the AI be put into practice is becoming wider and wider. We would explore the possibilities and the challenges of such AI to be used for the dispute resolution including settlement negotiation, mediation, litigation and arbitration in this panel.
