Centre for Cross Border Commercial Law in Asia
The OECD Model Tax Convention on Income and on Capital (the OECD Model) forms the basis for more than 3,000 double tax agreements (DTAs) worldwide. In a very significant case on tax treaty interpretation, the Supreme Court of Canada recognised that the OECD Model ‘served as the basic document of reference in the negotiation, application and interpretation of multilateral or bilateral tax conventions’ (Crown Forest Industries v Canada (1995) 2 SCR 802 [55])(‘Crown Forest’). The central premise of our research is that the widespread adoption of the OECD Model by nation States provides the framework for a coherent international tax regime. The consistent interpretation of common DTA terms across jurisdictions would enhance legal certainty for individuals and Governments, and promote more extensive cross-border trade, investment, and employment. It is reasonable to expect that this aspirational goal of consistent meanings for DTA terms would be more attainable among countries that share a common legal tradition.…

Centre for Digital Law
Design-focused rules are increasingly salient in law and public policy discourse. We see this well-illustrated in recent European legislation, which employs various 'by design' mantras, such as ‘data protection by design’ ‘compliance by design’ ‘open by design’ and ‘security by design’. Worryingly, legislators seem often to take the meaning of these norms for granted, but, for many stakeholders, such meaning is far from self-evident. What lies behind this turn to design-based regulation? And what is its long-term significance? Is it a development with only positive effects or does it also harbour possible problems?

Digital Dispute Resolution Platforms: The Impact of New Technologies on the Future of International Commercial Arbitration
Centre for Digital Law
Digital platforms have been offering dispute resolution services in the e-commerce domain for sometime. New technologies such as blockchain and AI have not only changed the digital landscape but have also given rise to new dispute resolution models for the digital economy. The legitimacy of these platforms has been advocated on both theoretical and functional grounds. However, their legality had been called into question by practitioners and policy makers. This seminar will discuss new digital dispute resolution platforms, their legitimacy and legality, and the potential implications for international commercial arbitration.
