The Arbitration Act 2025 introduced some significant revisions to the Arbitration Act 1996. The most significant revisions were explained in John Abbott’s article dated 26 February 2025. But what was not included in the Arbitration Act?

The Arbitration Act 2025 received Royal Assent on 24 February 2025 and will inform, in many respects, how arbitrations seated in England & Wales are conducted. The UK Government says that the new provisions introduced by the 2025 Act will keep the UK at the forefront as an arbitration centre and should provide a boost to the UK economy generally.

For the past 27 years the Arbitration Act 1996 has been the pillar upon which England and Wales has established itself as a highly respected and trusted jurisdiction under which to conduct International Arbitrations.
