Onus to cross-examine witnesses in arbitration proceedings?

Obliegen­heit zum Kreuzver­hör in Schiedsver­fahren?,
Com­men­tary by Simon Gabriel on Swiss Fed­er­al Tri­bunal deci­sion 4A_636/2014 on March 16, 2015

The Swiss Fed­er­al Tri­bunal had to deal with ques­tions of cross-exam­i­na­tions and a missed time lim­it in inter­na­tion­al arbi­tra­tion pro­ceed­ings. The present short com­men­tary ana­lyzes the ques­tions of whether a wit­ness of the oppos­ing par­ty must be cross-exam­ined in order to avoid unchal­lenged wit­ness evi­dence” by such wit­ness and why agreed time lim­its are prob­lem­at­ic in inter­na­tion­al arbi­tra­tion proceedings.
