Research on the optimization of international arbitration rules in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area: with reference to the IBA Rules on the Taking of Evidence

The Greater Bay Area is actively engaging in the international economic system. Aligning with the IBA Rules on the Taking of Evidence and improving related legal procedures is of great significance for enhancing the level of international arbitration. However, the Greater Bay Area currently lacks unified and clear standards for evidence disclosure and sanction measures; cross-examination is ineffective due to the varied levels of legal professionals; and immunity rights face challenges due to legal system differences and third-party funded arbitration. After a detailed study and consideration of the practical situation in the Greater Bay Area, targeted solutions are proposed, including the establishment of a unified immunity rights guideline, the design of a diversified regulatory model, and the clarification of a unified evidence disclosure model. These measures will help the Greater Bay Area build a more scientific and reasonable arbitration legal system.
