The Arbitration Act 1996, besides consolidating and clarifying the three earlier statutes and amendments, has introduced radical new concepts designed to promote fair, expeditious and economical resolution of disputes, and all those concerned with disputes in the construction industry need to be aware of the provisions of the Act. This major new edition of an established text takes the reader through each stage of an arbitration, explaining in practical terms the benefits available under the new Act. It features over 20 specimen arbitration documents and includes the full text of the 1996 Act.
