Senior associates Jane Miles (Dubai) and Bartek Rutkowski (London) set the scene for the Law Commission of England and Wales’ consultation on the Arbitration Act 1996. The duo discuss some of the key areas under review and in relation to which recommendations for legislative change may be on the horizon later this year. Topics include confidentiality, independence and impartiality, immunity, discrimination, scope for national court intervention, emergency arbitrations, challenges to arbitration awards, and Section 69 appeals.
