나이지리아 사법제도와 중재제도에 관한 연구

초록

For various political and economic reasons, Africa has become an important investment destination internationally. In the last 20 years, Africa has seen pronounced growth in foreign investment. Between 2002 and 2012, the acquisition of African assets by foreign investors totalled US$ 204bn in value, with the total number of deals almost doubling, from approximately 1,600 to just over 3,000. The question is how should disputes in relation to these investments be dealt with. Should disputes be treated any differently in Africa? Many of the companies investing in Africa are familiar with using arbitration in their contracts and will typically choose one of the recognised arbitration centres around the world using the main institutional rules such as the ICC (International Chamber of Commerce) or LCIA (London Court of International Arbitration). Nigeria is the important country for various reasons in Africa. The use of arbitration as a dispute resolution mechanism is quickly gaining ground in Nigeria. The rules mostly used are the Arbitration Rules contained in the Arbitration and Conciliation Act.
