Independence and Impartiality – Disclosure Obligations

Christophe Dugué is independent and makes every effort to preserve his independence and impartiality in compliance with the General Standard 1 of the IBA Guidelines on Conflicts of Interest in International Arbitration of 2014 (“Every arbitrator shall be impartial and independent of the parties at the time of accepting an appointment to serve and shall remain so until the final award has been rendered or the proceedings have otherwise finally terminated”) as well as applicable arbitration rules such as, for example ICC rules, Article 11(1), and applicable laws.

Parties to an arbitration proceeding in which he is considered a potential arbitrator or serves as an arbitrator should be aware that:

• Information made available on this website or on Christophe Dugué’s LinkedIn profile shall not be relied upon as a comprehensive source of information.
• Christophe Dugué has worked in large international law firms, is a member of various professional organizations, attends numerous conferences and events, either as speaker or participant, and has many LinkedIn contacts.
• Christophe Dugué does not maintain a record of fellow members, past colleagues, speakers or participants in conferences and other events, has no access to the records of the firms in which he worked in the past, and he does not closely monitor his list of contacts on LinkedIn.

Parties to an arbitration proceeding in which he is considered a potential arbitrator or serves as an arbitrator should not consider such connections as being relationships likely to affect his impartiality or independence “in the eyes of the parties” (ICC rules, Article 11(2), or “in the eyes of a reasonable third party” (General Standard 2 of the IBA Guidelines on Conflicts of Interest in International Arbitration of 2014).

Parties to an arbitration proceeding in which he is considered a potential arbitrator or serves as an arbitrator shall disclose promptly to Christophe Dugué any facts or circumstances considered relevant to his impartiality or independence as soon as that information is known or made available to such party and shall thus be responsible for making reasonable and continuing search of publicly available information promptly after learning of his prospective appointment or his appointment as arbitrator.
