Abstract
The new Arbitration (Scotland) Act 2010 introduces autonomy of arbitration agreement, interpretation of arbitration agreement, confidentiality and stated case procedures. Furthermore, a special emphasis will be placed on confidentiality due to its importance and new development in the practice of international commercial arbitration. Nevertheless, the Act also repeals the model law, unifies the domestic and international tracks of Scottish arbitration law and aims to makes the law clearer, easier to access, more fair, and efficient.
