Die Geheimhaltung im Schiedsverfahren nach schweizerischem Recht

It is undisputed that arbitration proceedings are only open to the persons required to decide the dispute. After having determined the legal basis and the extent of this principle under Swiss law, Philipp Ritz shows whether and to what extent the parties and all other participants are obligated to keep the existence of the proceedings and the information they have obtained confidential. He looks at the scope of protection of such information during and after closure of the proceedings, including challenge and enforcement proceedings before state courts. He also examines the legality of disclosing a piece of evidence to the arbitrators to the exclusion of the other parties. This book presents practical solutions for the busy practitioner and may also be of interest for arbitral tribunals sitting in civil law countries other than Switzerland.
