Changing Powers and Entitlements under the Arbitration Act 2010

The Arbitration Act 2010 came into force on 8 June 2010. In applying the UNCITRAL (United Nations Commission on International Trade Law) Model Law it will align Ireland’s arbitration rules and procedures under the existing Arbitration Acts 1954 to 1998 with international standards. From drafting agreements to taking proceedings, parties, practitioners, witnesses and arbitrators alike will need to familiarise themselves with the new powers and entitlements granted under the Act.
