Arbitration Law in UK Law

Leading Cases
  • Pioneer Shipping Ltd v B.T.P. Tioxide Ltd (Nema)
    • House of Lords
    • 16 Julho 1981

    For reasons already sufficiently discussed, rather less strict criteria are in my view appropriate where questions of construction of contracts in standard terms are concerned.

  • Sulamérica Cia Nacional de Seguros SA and Others v Enesa Engelharia SA and Others
    • Court of Appeal (Civil Division)
    • 16 Maio 2012

    A search for an implied choice of proper law to govern the arbitration agreement is therefore likely (as the dicta in the earlier cases indicate) to lead to the conclusion that the parties intended the arbitration agreement to be governed by the same system of law as the substantive contract, unless there are other factors present which point to a different conclusion.

  • Channel Tunnel Group Ltd and Another v Balfour Beatty Construction Ltd and Others
    • House of Lords
    • 21 Janeiro 1993

    It is by now firmly established that more than one national system of law may bear upon an international arbitration. Thus, there is the proper law which regulates the substantive rights and duties of the parties to the contract from which the dispute has arisen. Exceptionally, this may differ from the national law governing the interpretation of the agreement to submit the dispute to arbitration.

  • Carillion Construction Ltd v Devonport Royal Dockyard Ltd
    • Court of Appeal (Civil Division)
    • 16 Novembro 2005

    It is only too easy in a complex case for a party who is dissatisfied with the decision of an adjudicator to comb through the adjudicator's reasons and identify points upon which to present a challenge under the labels "excess of jurisdiction" or "breach of natural justice". The task of the adjudicator is to find an interim solution which meets the needs of the case. The need to have the "right" answer has been subordinated to the need to have an answer quickly.

  • Aggeliki Charis Compania Maritima S.A. v Pagnan S.p.A. (The Angelic Grace)
    • Court of Appeal (Civil Division)
    • 17 Maio 1994

    In my judgment, where an injunction is sought to restrain a party from proceeding in a foreign court in breach of an arbitration agreement governed by English law, the English Court need feel no diffidence in granting the injunction, provided that it is sought promptly and before the foreign proceedings are too far advanced.

  • Compagnie Tunisienne de Navigation S.A. v Compagnie d'Armement Maritime S.A.
    • House of Lords
    • 14 Julho 1970

  • Premium Nafta Products Ltd v Fili Shipping Company Ltd
    • House of Lords
    • 17 Outubro 2007

    In my opinion the construction of an arbitration clause should start from the assumption that the parties, as rational businessmen, are likely to have intended any dispute arising out of the relationship into which they have entered or purported to enter to be decided by the same tribunal. The clause should be construed in accordance with this presumption unless the language makes it clear that certain questions were intended to be excluded from the arbitrator's jurisdiction.
