Arbitration – Court powers to stay litigation because of arbitration agreements

摘要

Professor J.E. Adams (Queen Mary, University of London) examines the impact of the Arbitration Act 1996 and the provisions seeking to preserve domestic / non-domestic distinction and discretionary / mandatory differentiation. He suggests that mismatched legislation is incompatible with the practical needs of the construction industry.
