About This Episode
This full episode of Public Policy in Arbitration tackles the big question: Does the public policy doctrine protect justice or undermine arbitral awards? With expert perspectives from Michael Mafabi (S&L Advocates) and Patrick Turinawe (ENSafrica), host Mariam N. Iga breaks down the doctrine's reputation as an "unruly horse," its shifting boundaries, and the courts' cautious approach to its application.
The conversation explores how public policy can both uphold fundamental principles of justice and, at times, disrupt commercial certainty. A comprehensive discussion for anyone navigating the evolving intersection of law, public interest, and arbitration. #TheICAMEKPodcast
