An update on the Scottish and Irish Arbitration Acts.
The
Arbitration (Scotland) Act 2010
and the
Irish Arbitration Act 2010
came into force on 7 and 8 June 2010, respectively. Both Acts, which are based on the UNCITRAL Model Law, have abolished the distinction between domestic and international arbitration which existed in previous legislation. The Acts contain some notable provisions (for further information, see
Legal updates, Scottish Parliament passes Arbitration Bill
and
Irish Senate passes Arbitration Act 2010
).
The Acts apply to arbitrations commenced on or after the date of entry into force.
