The Arbitration Act 1996 (c 23) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which regulates arbitration proceedings within the jurisdiction of England and Wales and Northern Ireland.[1][2][3]
The 1996 Act only applies to parts of the United Kingdom.[4] In Scotland, the Arbitration (Scotland) Act 2010 [5] provides a modern statutory framework for domestic and international arbitration.
It is set to be amended by the Arbitration Bill.[6]
