The Arbitration Act 2024: An aggregation of marginal gains

The Law Commission of England and Wales has concluded its review of the Arbitration Act 1996. In our International Arbitration Survey 2022, we canvased views on the potential areas for reform of the Act.  On 6 September, the Law Commission published a final report setting out its conclusions and recommendations for the reform together with a draft Arbitration Bill. The headline point is that the new Act will not contain any dramatic changes.  A common refrain during the consultation process was that the 1996 Act was fundamentally sound and there was no need for a fundamental re-draft. Instead, the focus has been on incremental improvements to the Act to ensure that it remains “state of the art” and “continues to support London’s world-leading role in international arbitration.” Here is a summary of what we can expect to see in a new Arbitration Act.

Artificial Intelligence - the Rise of Machine Learning

For over ten years, BCLP’s International Arbitration Group has conducted a number of surveys on issues affecting the arbitration process including: cyber-security in arbitration proceedings (2019), rights of appeal (2020), expert evidence (2021) and the reform of the Arbitration Act 1996 (2022). This year our survey topic is artificial intelligence (AI) and the impact of its use in international arbitration.

Time Limits for Awards: The Danger of Deadlines

Cost and delay remain the two areas of greatest concern to parties in arbitration. A particular source of frustration is that it can sometimes take many months for arbitrators to deliberate and issue an award. As a result, we are increasingly being asked whether arbitration agreements should include a deadline for the delivery of an award. This article considers some of the pros and cons of setting a deadline for the delivery of an award.

BCLP Arbitration Survey 2022: The reform of the Arbitration Act 1996

On 30 November 2021, the UK’s Law Commission announced it would conduct a review of the Arbitration Act 1996. The aim of this review is to maintain the attractiveness of England and Wales as a destination for dispute resolution. London is a popular seat of arbitration. The Arbitration Act 1996 is widely respected as a clear, well-drafted and effective framework for the conduct of arbitration. That said, competition between the top seats is fierce and there’s no room for complacency. For this reason, the reform of the Act is not just of interest to UK practitioners but also to international practitioners around the world. We do not usually choose a survey topic focused on a single jurisdiction, but this once-in-a-generation review and reform process has implications for users and practitioners around the world.
