The Arbitration Act 1996, in force across England and Wales since 31 January 1997 and amended by the Arbitration Act 2025, consolidated prior legislation and transformed the practice of arbitration in those countries. Many challenging questions arising from the Act continue to occupy the courts, particularly the Commercial and Technology & Construction Courts, and guidance from legal experts continues to contribute to active debate on its interpretation.
The Arbitration Act 1996: A Commentary provides a practical, accessible, section-by-section overview of both the 1996 and 2025 Acts. Intended for arbitrators, lawyers, and practitioners who need a clear understanding of the Acts’ practical application, it covers the key cases that have shaped its interpretation, and has long been used by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators as a recommended training text.
