Conclusions at end of the Brussels School of Competition academic year
The Brussels School of Competition (BSC) recently ended its academic year with a special session dedicated to the interplay between arbitration and competition law. The session was presided by BSC director Charles Gheur and coordinated by BSC manager Valérie Tulkens. Olivier Caprasse presented the mechanics of arbitration,whereas Xavier Taton and Guillaume Croisant (Linklaters) focused on the arbitrability of competition matters.
contrast partner Frank Wijckmans addressed the application of the substantive rules of competition law in arbitration proceedings. His conclusion: 'The days that arbitration and competition law were hardly friends, seem to be over. The flexibility offered by arbitration proceedings is very well suited to address complex competition litigation. I expect a marked increase in the number of arbitration proceedings where competition law will play an important and possibly even preponderant role.'
