Bare Acts

Domestic arbitration laws play a pivotal role in international arbitration, shaping procedures for tribunal appointments, proceedings duration, interim measures, award enforcement, annulments, anti-suit injunctions, and cost securities.

While many nations align with the UNCITRAL Model Law, others differ significantly, requiring careful review before initiating arbitration or engaging in litigation. For instance, in some jurisdictions, failing to assert arbitration at an initial court hearing may forfeit the right.

We offer the most comprehensive collection of domestic arbitration laws, including rare ones from Andorra, Grenada, Kiribati, Lesotho, Macedonia, and Tonga. Notably, only Palau and Saint Kitts lack domestic arbitration laws. Most other laws worldwide are available for download below.

While we strive to keep this database updated, laws may change. Always verify current provisions before relying on them.
