Abstract
This annotated version of the recentlyenactedArbitration (Scotland) Act 2010 provides a full copy of the Act, including Schedule 1 - Scottish Arbitration Rules, commented on by three experts in the field. The three authors were involved in the detailed drafting of the legislation to an unprecedented extent and so are able to provide unparalleled insight and guidance for those who will use the Act and this book as a necessary daily source of direction. The book includes a Foreword by John Campbell QC, President CIArb in 2009 and himself heavily involved in progressing the Bill through the parliamentary system. Once the Arbitration (Scotland) Act 2010 comes into forceScotland will be at the forefront of modern arbitral law and practice. This is a long way removed from its position under the previous law. That law featured a few statutory fragments, but was mainly based on a common law which was often underdeveloped or obscure and sometimes dysfunctional. The importance of the change to a primarily statutory regime cannot be understated. The Act represents not only the most significant development in the history of the Scots law of arbitration but also one of the most significant developments in the history of Scots commercial law. The Act is wholly new legislation and this radical change means that anybody dealing in this area of the law will be very significantly affected and needs to understand it fully. This book is the required tool and will provide you with a detailed exposition of the new legislation and a confident understanding of how it will concern your everyday working life.
