⚖️ On October 23rd, we gathered for a thought-provoking Viennese-style debate co-hosted by Poland VYAP, AFM below 40, and Sołtysiński Kawecki & Szlęzak law firm, as part of Solidarity Arbitration and Mediation Days 2024: “The Budget Warrior: Surviving in Arbitration as an Impecunious Party”
💬 The debate centered around a January 2024 Polish Supreme Court ruling that rendered an arbitration clause unenforceable due to one party’s lack of funds — a decision that has sparked much discussion in the arbitration community. Our moderators Monika Diehl and Justyna Kucia challenged our speakers Paula Eiben-Działoszyńska, Aleksander Godhe (Kalisz), Milosz Palej, and Antoni Żukowski in a Viennese-style Debate in exploring this issue and discussing broader implications for arbitration’s accessibility.
Special thanks to Court of Arbitration at the PCC for hosting us in their space and to Sołtysiński Kawecki & Szlęzak for their generous sponsorship, which made this event possible!
Thank you to everyone who joined and contributed to the lively exchange! Stay tuned for future events as we continue to explore pressing issues in the field of dispute resolution.
