Outer space activities are no longer in the exclusive domain of States. There has been a marked increase in commercial space activities in recent years, with private players taking the lead in new space developments. As the commercial space sector grows, so too do the number of commercial space-related disputes. Contractual arrangements are likely to underpin most of these matters. This given, how different are commercial space-related disputes going to be from disputes in other industry sectors? Are existing mechanisms for dispute resolution adequate to address the needs of commercial space players? Or do specialised methods of dispute resolution need to be developed? The authors offer a practitioner’s perspective. |
