As a result, the doctrine of res judicata, which requires that a final decision by a court or arbitral tribunal is conclusive and should not be re-litigated, is of increasing significance. Dr Silja Schaffstein provides guidelines for matters of res judicata for international commercial arbitration practitioners.
