This significant work is now reissued in paperback, without appendices. The text provides a detailed yet clear and accessible guide to English and international arbitration law. The book initially deals with the principles of arbitration as examined from an international perspective. The authors identify fundamental principles of arbitration law that are common to all jurisdictions, and show how some principles of arbitration law are treated differently in various jurisdictions. The book also examines some of the key jurisprudential questions, such as whether an international commercial arbitration is anchored to the place or seat of the arbitration, whether an arbitral award can be enforced even it has been annulled, and the continuing development and use of the lex mercatoria to resolve international commercial arbitrations. The sections on English arbitration law are structured around the provisions of the English Arbitration Act 1996. The work examines in turn the parties to the arbitration, the arbitration agreement, the powers and jurisdiction of the arbitral tribunal, the making of an award and its enforcement. In order to assist practitioners the authors have particularly focused on areas of the law which have changed over recent years and which are still developing. The book gives detailed analysis of court decisions and trends in areas where no clear authority exists, such as in the incorporation of arbitration clauses, and the drafting of arbitration notices. The book also deals thoroughly with costs and appeals. The final section of Arbitration of Commercial Disputes provides a comprehensive set of precedents. The precedents section includes both standard arbitration clauses and bespoke agreements, plus examples of clauses dealing with other forms of ADR prior to arbitration. There are also a number of procedural precedents including a set of Terms of Reference, Directions and a confidentiality agreement. There is finally a set of Awards and a section on applications to the English courts.

Building on its success and reputation as a leading reference work on the English law and practice of commercial arbitration, this second edition of Arbitration of Commercial Disputes brings in the expertise of an experienced new co-author to reflect a sea of change within the arbitration field over the past decade. A new, more user-friendly structure takes the reader through each step of the arbitration process from start to finish, whilst retaining the first edition's unique comparative perspectives of arbitration law and practice in other common law and civil law jurisdictions. The authors explain the application of provisions under the Arbitration Act 1996, as reformed by the Arbitration Act 2025, and document the latest institutional rules affecting the arbitration process including the ICC Arbitration Rules 2021, the LCIA Arbitration Rules 2020, and the latest provisions from the Arbitration Act 2025. They provide detailed analysis on the latest legal authorities, including significant developments to the applicable law to the arbitration agreement, the arbitrator's duty of disclosure, and the granting of anti-suit and anti-arbitration injunctions, and discuss the current and potential future impact of wider societal developments such as Brexit and the use of technology and artificial intelligence. Written in a clear and approachable style, Arbitration of Commercial Disputes 2e is an ideal reference point for the judiciary, professionals working in commercial arbitration, and an essential primer for academics, students and researchers looking for comprehensive coverage of English arbitration law and practice with an international comparative perspective.
