Abstract
The proper constitution of an Arbitral Tribunal will determine the validity and enforceability of an award. This paper deals with the different problematics that multi arbitrator tribunals, in specific those panels formed under the scheme of party appointed arbitrators can face during the proceedings, analyzing the possibility of reducing the perverse incentives that an arbitrator might have in ruling in favor of his nominating party.
