In this article, the author looks back on his Inaugural Winnie Whittaker Memorial Lecture of 2006, Must Arbitration be a Bloodbath? (in which he examined the reasons why many arbitrations were excessively confrontational and considered ways in which procedures could be simplified and costs reduced without compromising the fairness of the arbitral process) and considers whether he has changed his views, particularly in the context of new problems that have emerged in the intervening years. The article is the edited text of the 14th Winnie Whittaker Memorial Lecture delivered at the Hong Kong Club on 5 September 2019.
