When arbitration goes to Court: reform, recent developments, and strategic issues in the English Court's Supervisory Jurisdiction

 

Peter de Verneuil Smith KC, Judy Fu and Amy Gregg of 3 Verulam Buildings 

 

Arbitration remains a key part of the commercial dispute lawyer's toolkit.  Practitioners may be interested to learn that in 2023-4, arbitration applications amounted to around 20% of all claims issued in the Commercial Court.  With the Arbitration Act 2025 now having come into force, amending the existing Arbitration Act 1996, this talk will give LSLA members the opportunity to ensure their knowledge is up-to-date, as well as to hear about how these issues can be addressed strategically.
