Commercial Arbitration in Australia Under the Model Law




The Third Edition is an annotated section-by-section guide to domestic commercial arbitration legislation in Australia under the uniform commercial arbitration Acts. It provides analytical commentary on the growing body of case law applying the Model Law in Australia and around the world and gives practical guidance on matters such as the interpretation of arbitration agreements.

At the Sydney Launch on 22 June 2022, Chief Justice Allsop of the Federal Court gave an address on the possibilities which may arise from the development of a bespoke commercial law of Australia and a view of arbitration and Australian courts as symbiotic. Professor Janet Walker CM also spoke about the development of the framework for domestic arbitration and Georgia Quick, the President of ACICA delivered a welcome. A link to the recording of the Sydney Launch can be found here.

The Melbourne Launch was held at Melbourne Law School on 29 June 2022, featuring addresses by Professor Richard Garnett and Professor Janet Walker CM, touching upon issues such as the relationship between domestic arbitration and the Model Law for International Commercial Arbitration.
