We are delighted to share that two members of the PARAGON team, Martin Hackl and Sarah Böck, have authored the Austrian chapter in the newly published Kluwer Law International volume The Annulment of Arbitral Awards: https://law-store.wolterskluwer.com/s/product/the-annulment-of-arbitral-awards-a-global-guide/01tPg00000NfDLsIAN

Their contribution, Chapter 2 – The Annulment of Arbitral Awards in Austria, forms part of what is arguably the most comprehensive comparative analysis of annulment regimes currently available, covering 32 key arbitration jurisdictions worldwide and bringing together leading scholars and practitioners from across the globe.

The Austrian chapter provides an in-depth overview of the legal framework governing the setting aside of arbitral awards in Austria, including:

• the statutory framework and doctrinal foundations of annulment proceedings;
• admissibility requirements for setting-aside applications;
• the interpretation of annulment grounds by Austrian courts; and
• the legal effects of annulment decisions.

By placing Austria’s regime within a broader international context, the publication serves as a valuable resource for counsel, arbitrators, academics, and courts dealing with the complex issues arising in annulment proceedings.

Congratulations to Martin and Sarah on contributing their expertise to this significant addition to international arbitration literature.
