Data protection laws prescribe the legal rules applicable whenever personal data is processed, including when, where and how personal data may be processed. However, they do not address how they should be applied in specific contexts, such as in arbitration.  The ICCA-IBA Roadmap to Data Protection in International Arbitration (“Roadmap”) has been developed by the ICCA-IBA Joint Task Force on Data Protection in International Arbitration as a tool to assist arbitration professionals in understanding how the data protection and privacy laws may apply during international arbitration proceedings.

 

When a participant in an arbitral is subject to a data protection law, compliance is legally required. This means that in practice data protection principles will need to be applied during the arbitration to supplement the applicable laws, arbitration rules, and soft law instruments (including the IBA Rules).  By reference to general data protection principles, the Roadmap aims to assist arbitral participants in identifying and addressing data protection issues, and proposes that data protection compliance should be addressed early in the arbitral proceedings and that a reasonable, cooperative, and proportionate approach be adopted and documented.  The Annexes provide practical guidance in the form of practice tips, check lists, references, and sample text for data protection directions and protocols, standard contractual clauses, and privacy notices.

 

This interactive session will focus on the practicalities of applying the data protection rules during an arbitration. We will use practical examples from the Roadmap and practice to highlight both the timing and means that can be employed to address compliance during an arbitration.
