A Practitioner's Guide to Scottish Arbitration

In 2010, the Arbitration (Scotland) Act 2010 came into force with the aim of modernising Scots law on arbitration. Building on the previous edition, this book reviews the last 10 years, the development of the law in Scotland, the use of the Act and the Rules of Court, and reflects on how it all works in practice.
