“The arbitrator in the interlocutory: Venue, split hearing and other pre-arbitration applications”
It’s that time again! Come along to our second Auckland Breakfast Meeting of the year and join network Convenor Kate Wiseman in welcoming Hon Raynor Asher KC as guest speaker.
Raynor will share his perspective on ‘the arbitrator in the interlocutory’. With a particular focus on venue, split hearing and other pre-arbitration applications, this is set to be an exciting discussion. Given Raynor’s extensive background in Aotearoa’s legal system and his wealth of knowledge when it comes to the application of the law, we’re looking forward to some great insights from his presentation.
Of course, the morning will also be a welcomed opportunity to network with peers and reconnect in person after what has been a tumultuous start to the new year.
We look forward to seeing you there. All welcome. You do not need to be an AMINZ member to attend, so please feel free to invite those within your network who may benefit from the discussions and networking.
