  The Arbitration Act 1996 introduced radical changes to English arbitration law, the practical results of which are only now becoming apparent. This section by section commentary on the Act, which Lord Bingham described as 'intensely practical and admirably user-friendly' when it was first published, has now been updated to include: * some 50 cases that have been decided under the 1996 Act, as well as a number of other relevant decisions * new arbitration rules, including those of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, CIMAR, the ICE, the ICC and the LCIA * full references to the appropriate parts of the Civil Procedure Rules. This has entailed revisions, many of which are substantial, to the commentary for over 80 per cent of the sections of the Act, as well as changes to the materials and tables provided. The book includes checklists of choices that arbitrators, parties and their representatives need to consider, as well as drafting suggestions and model agreements. Written by three practicing arbitrators, this new edition continues to provide the most readable guide to the Act. The revised text will be welcomed by those already familiar with the first edition.
