Maria Teder contributes to ArbCEE arbitration report

The Arbitration Association of Central and Eastern Europe (ArbCEE) has published its comprehensive overview Take a Seat – A Guide to Arbitration Seats in Central & Eastern Europe, offering an analysis of arbitration frameworks across the region.

Maria Teder, Counsel at Ellex in Estonia, is the co-author of the Estonia chapter, which highlights the specific features of the Estonian arbitration landscape, notably that:

• Estonia generally follows the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration. The report highlights some of the more notable the deviations.
• Unlike in other known jurisdictions, court proceedings related to arbitration in Estonia are not public.
• The number of arbitration awards annulled in Estonia is very low. However, the recognition and enforcement procedure in courts tends to be slow.
• The state fee for arbitration-related court applications in Estonia is relatively low.

Take a Seat is a valuable resource for businesses, legal advisors and arbitrators operating in the CEE region and seeking more detailed insight into procedural frameworks and court practice in each jurisdiction.
