Extract

1. With the internationalization of the market international transactions also grow in number and importance. Here we should not only think of international sales agreements. Important as those may be there are also licence agreements, know-how agreements, agency-contracts, transport agreements, deliveries of installations and even of complete factories to developing countries, concession-agreements – all these play a role in international transactions. From all these contracts – the list is far from being complete – disputes can arise. How are these disputes to be resolved?

2. Court proceedings

Of course there is the national judge. Bringing the case in court is, however, in international matters even more than in the national field, not always looked upon favourably by business people. The reasons for this are manifold.
