German Federal Court of Justice on right to an oral hearing and notarisation requirement for arbitration clause and arbitral rules | Practical Law

In a decision dated 24 July 2014, but only just published, the Federal Court of Justice considered whether an arbitration clause, and the arbitration rules it referred to, must be notarised if the underlying contract is notarised. It also dealt with the question of whether the parties have the right to an oral hearing in court proceedings on the jurisdiction of an arbitral tribunal.
