The Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (Ciarb) has now issued its response to the UK Law Commission’s consultation on reforms to the Arbitration Act 1996.

The autumn session of UNCITRAL WG III on ISDS Reform in October of this year was the first to resume as fully in person since the start of the pandemic.  It was noted at the outset that instruments on investor state mediation and the proposed Code of Conduct for Adjudicators (Code) are expected to go to the Commission within the year. 

Thank you to all those who joined us and the Law Commission for a public consultation on the Arbitration Act of 1996 on 29 November 2022.

Ciarb and EWI agree the cross-promotion of training and membership with a view to promoting the relevant training and membership for the Expert Witness community.
