It's been 25 years since the Arbitration Act 1996 came into force, so what has worked and what needs reform?
Writing in this week’s NLJ, Shantanu Majumdar QC, of Radcliffe Chambers, reviews the practical operation of the Act, covering confidentiality, court challenges, jurisdiction and other aspects, as well as Law Commission proposals for amendment.
Majumdar writes: ‘The essential question for the Law Commission is the extent to which the Act reflects English law as it has evolved over the past 25 years as well as to address respects in which English law has not but should do so.’
