EXPERT EVIDENCE IN VIETNAM-SEATED CONSTRUCTION ARBITRATIONS: A COMPARATIVE AND PROCEDURAL ANALYSIS

EXPERT EVIDENCE IN VIETNAM-SEATED CONSTRUCTION ARBITRATIONS: A COMPARATIVE AND PROCEDURAL ANALYSIS
Posted date: 05/09/2025

Abstract

This paper examines the Vietnamese legal framework governing expert evidence in arbitrations seated in Vietnam, focusing on the Law on Commercial Arbitration 2010 (LCA) and the Vietnam International Arbitration Centre's Rules (VIAC Rules). Drawing comparisons with the ICC, SIAC, IBA Rules, and related soft law instruments, the analysis addresses key procedural aspects such as expert appointment, inspection, and the tribunal's discretion in evaluating evidence. Particular attention is paid to the limited role of party-appointed experts and the potential legal implications of inspection practices rooted in Vietnam's civil law tradition. The paper concludes with recommendations for both institutional and legislative reform, aiming to enhance procedural clarity and bring Vietnamese arbitration practice closer in line with international standards.

Keywords: Expert Evidence, Inspection, Tribunal-Appointed Experts
