Seminar - Addressing Australia’s Arbitration Ambivalence
The International Arbitration Amendment Act 2010
About the Seminar: This seminar offers the first in-depth analysis of the International Arbitration Act as amended in July 2010, often going further than the 2006 revisions to the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration.
The International Arbitration Amendment Act has become the regime exclusively governing international arbitrations in Australia, arguably with no longer any possibility of opting in to the uniform Commercial Arbitration Acts (CAAs) or even a foreign arbitration law. But the CAAs are also being amended to align more closely with the Model Law, and for domestic arbitrations parties can instead opt in to the IAA regime. The CAA amendments are also interesting for provisions (eg on Arb-Med) that were not included in the amended IAA, but which may (or may not) be useful for parties to international arbitrations to adopt by agreement anyway.
This seminar explores these and many other issues affecting especially international arbitration law and practice, based primarily on the detailed introduction to the path-breaking 11-chapter work, Nottage/Garnett (eds) International Arbitration in Australia (Federation Press, october 2010: prelims reproduced at www.law.usyd.edu.au/scil).
When: 6.00-7.30pm, 2 September 2010
