In the highly regarded SULI series, Arbitration provides a comprehensive account of the modern law of arbitration and related forms of dispute resolution. It covers all aspects of the domestic law of arbitration, and thoroughly examines the system pertaining to international arbitration when launched and subsequently conducted in Scotland.

Throughout the book, Scots law is considered in the context of international arbitration in general. It examines the operation of the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration as adopted in Scotland, with frequent reference to appropriate authority from other jurisdictions. Arbitration is the essential reference work on the law of arbitration in Scotland. It will be of interest not only to practitioners, but also to arbitrators charged with conducting proceedings in Scotland.
