The nomination of an arbitrator is probably one of the most important decisions during an arbitration, and the Supreme People's Court of China recently provided some guidance for parties on this issue. 

This newsletter contains a featured article that will cover the recent decisions released by China International Commercial Court, which are worth our particular attention for a glimpse on the operation and practice of China's court in the area of judicial review of foreign-related arbitrations.  The cases arose from the dispute between the founder of a high-end restaurant chain South Beauty and Luxembourg-based CVC Capital Partners related to a share purchase agreement.  The newsletter also contains recent Chinese law updates.
