Arbitration (International Commercial) Bill 1997

Public bill · Government · Presented

The Bill would bring international commercial arbitration in Ireland into line with the UN’s widely used rules, covering arbitrator appointments, court support, evidence, costs, interest, enforcement and limited challenges to awards. It would also update interest rules for other arbitrations and ensure arbitration agreements do not prevent people using the District Court’s Small Claims Procedure.
