All Change for Scottish Dispute Resolution

On 7th June 2010, The Arbitration Act (Scotland) came into force and which in time is to fully supersede the former Arbitration regime of Scotland which has a rather difficult and complicated set up. The new Act, however, provides a arbitration system which should be clearer and more user friendly and there will be few surprises for those familiar with the 1996 Arbitration Act that applies to England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The Act attempts to harmonise Scots law with other jurisdictions while at the same time improving on the perceived deficiencies in those other jurisdictions!
