The first panel will consider common matters arising in complex arbitrations such as multi-party and jurisdictional issues and how to address them. Thereafter, the second panel will discuss the balance between ensuring transparency in proceedings and maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of the parties and how this has been treated by the courts in different African jurisdictions.
