Arbitration of Commercial Disputes cover

Building on its success and reputation as a leading reference work on the English law and practice of commercial arbitration, this second edition of Arbitration of Commercial Disputes brings in the expertise of an experienced new co-author to reflect a sea of change within the arbitration field over the past decade. A new, more user-friendly structure takes the reader through each step of the arbitration process from start to finish, whilst retaining the first edition's unique comparative perspectives of arbitration law and practice in other common law and civil law jurisdictions. The authors explain the application of provisions under the Arbitration Act 1996, as reformed by the Arbitration Act 2025, and document the latest institutional rules affecting the arbitration process including the ICC Arbitration Rules 2021, the LCIA Arbitration Rules 2020, and the latest provisions from the Arbitration Act 2025. They provide detailed analysis on the latest legal authorities, including significant developments to the applicable law to the arbitration agreement, the arbitrator's duty of disclosure, and the granting of anti-suit and anti-arbitration injunctions, and discuss the current and potential future impact of wider societal developments such as Brexit and the use of technology and artificial intelligence. Written in a clear and approachable style, Arbitration of Commercial Disputes 2e is an ideal reference point for the judiciary, professionals working in commercial arbitration, and an essential primer for academics, students and researchers looking for comprehensive coverage of English arbitration law and practice with an international comparative perspective.

The Second Edition of Arbitration of Commercial Disputes is a very welcome and timely contribution to this developing area of law. It offers a thorough and well organised analysis of English arbitration law, together with valuable international perspectives, in clear and concise language that those working with arbitration on a day to day basis will genuinely appreciate. The analysis is supported by case law, with concise and helpful summaries of the relevant facts and issues. It is fully up-to-date and the authors engage directly with the issues currently facing the arbitration community. The result is a work that is not only practical and informative but also engaging and rewarding to read. * Joanne Clarke, Partner at Howard Kennedy LLP *
This is a timely and helpful 2nd edition, by experts in the field. The authors have produced in 660 pages a clear statement of the law and practice of both English and international arbitration. The law stated is as of 1 August 2025, so the (English) Arbitration Act 2025 is fully covered, as well as the position in the other important jurisdictions. Even the impact of AI is referenced. There is a comprehensive set of indices, including topics, cases and legislation, making the volume easy to use for the busy practitioner. Oxford University Press's production standards are, as ever, impressive. It is a pleasure to use, and highly recommended. * Dr Robert Gaitskell KC, CEng, Keating Chambers, London *
Arbitration of Commercial Disputes is an indispensable addition to every arbitration practitioner's library. It provides a complete and well-structured account of the field from overarching principles to enforcement and appeals. In adopting a sequential structure, which follows the lifespan of an arbitration, it is as user-friendly as its coverage of the substantive issues is detailed and astute. The authors are equally to be commended in ensuring that takes full account of the Arbitration Act 2025. It is the essential guide to the subject. * Dr John Sorabji, Co-Director, UCL Centre for Dispute Resolution *
