PRACTICE NOTES
Procedural law of arbitration (lex arbitri) in England and Wales: the seat, scope, court powers and award challenges under the Arbitration Act 1996
This Practice Note examines the procedural law of arbitration proceedings and how it is identified under the law of England and Wales (England and English are used as convenient shorthand).
The procedural law of the arbitral proceedings
The procedural law of an arbitration is also known as the ‘lex arbitri’ or the ‘curial law’. It sets the framework for the arbitration’s internal procedure and the scope of the courts’ powers to supervise and assist the process, where appropriate. The particulars of how an arbitration should proceed are ordinarily fixed by any applicable arbitration rules, the tribunal’s procedural orders, and the parties’ agreement, as circumstances require. The curial law may nevertheless supply default provisions and impose constraints on the parties’ autonomy. As each country enacts its own procedural rules, the reach and content of the procedural law will differ from one jurisdiction to another.
