Adam Runestam, associate at Hammarskiöld, specialising in arbitration and litigation, has written a practice note for the SCC regarding the SCC’s decisions on prima facie jurisdiction between 2013–2023. Notably, out of 269 cases in which the SCC determined its prima facie jurisdiction, only eleven cases were dismissed for manifest lack of jurisdiction. This confirms the SCC’s pro-arbitration stance.
