Secretariat News
The unremitting rise in the number of arbitration cases submitted to the ICC Court has been much remarked. It is perhaps less well known that the Secretariat has been shouldering this growing caseload on its existing staff resources. However, with the number of cases pending approaching 1,000, the time was felt ripe for a reinforcement of these resources.
The current working structure at the Secretariat and certain of its working practices date from the early nineteen eighties, when the then director, Mrs Tila Maria de Hancock, decided to organize staff into teams, headed by counsel, each with an assistant and a secretary. Initially, four teams were created. A fifth team was added in 1988, followed by a sixth two years later. In the late nineteen nineties, a need for additional assistants began to be felt. First one, then two, and finally, in 1999, all six teams included two assistants, an expansion which has this year been matched by the inclusion of an additional secretary in each team.
The most notable reinforcement of staff resources, however, has been the recent creation of a seventh team. It is headed by Toshiki Enomoto, who is Japanese. After graduating in law from the University of Paris II, Ms Enomoto obtained a postgraduate degree in private international law and a diploma from the Institut des Hautes Etudes Internationales in public international law. She is a member of the Paris Bar and has practical experience in both litigation and arbitration acquired in the Paris office of an English law firm. Ms Enomoto speaks Japanese, English and French.
