Details

This book provides a comprehensive commentary on the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Arbitration. Combining both theory and practice, it is written by leading academics and practitioners from Europe, Asia and the Americas to ensure the book has a balanced international coverage. The book not only provides an article-by-article critical analysis, but also incorporates information on the reality of legal practice in UNCITRAL jurisdictions, ensuring it is more than a recitation of case law and variations in legal text. This is not a handbook for practitioners needing a supportive citation, but rather a guide for practitioners, legislators and academics to the reasons the Model Law was structured as it was, and the reasons variations have been adopted.

  • A comprehensive article-by-article commentary of the Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration written by leading academics and practitioners
  • Provides in-depth critical analysis of commercial arbitration that not only discusses case-law but also explores the ideas behind arbitration
  • Combines both theory and practice, ensuring relevance for practitioners, legislators and academics
