Awards

Public awards,
in plain English.

Landmark public arbitral awards and decisions, summarised so anyone can follow them: what happened, which laws collided, what the tribunal decided, and why it mattered. Every entry links to the original. We only cover what is lawfully public; confidential commercial awards are never listed.

The registries themselves.

Every summary above links to its original. These are the public databases each institution runs, where the full awards live. And honestly, what is not here: maritime and commodity awards (LMAA, GAFTA, FOSFA) and most commercial awards stay confidential, so nobody can lawfully list them, including us.
