Arbitration and Contract Law
Common Law Perspectives
Samenvatting
This
book deals with the contractual platform for arbitration and the application of
contractual norms to the parties' dispute.
Arbitration and agreement are
inter-linked in three respects: (i) the agreement to arbitrate is itself a
contract; (ii) there is scope (subject to clear consensual exclusion) in
England for monitoring the arbitral tribunal's fidelity and accuracy in
applying substantive English contract law; (iii) the subject-matter of the
arbitration is nearly always a ‘contractual’ matter. These three elements
underlie this work. They appear as Part I (arbitration is founded on
agreement), Part II (monitoring accuracy), Part III (synopsis of the English
contractual rules frequently encountered within arbitration).
The
book will be a useful resource to foreign lawyers or English non-lawyers,
English lawyers seeking a succinct discussion, and to arbitral tribunals.
