Arbitration Act 1996
The Arbitration Act 1996 (c 23) is an Act of Parliament which regulates arbitration proceedings within the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom.
Overview
The United Kingdom is one of the very few developed countries in the world which has consciously elected not to follow the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration. That is a position which has been subject of criticism.[1]
Exclusion of the courts
- Section 69 allows for an appeal on a point of law to a court if parties have agreed for this to happen.
