Arbitration and Contract Law: Common Law Perspectives

This book deals with the contractual platform for arbitration and the application of contractual norms to the parties' dispute.

Arbitration and agreement are inter-linked in three respects:
(i) the agreement to arbitrate is itself a contract;
(ii) there is scope (subject to the clear consensual exclusion) in England for monitoring the arbitral tribunal's fidelity and accuracy in applying substantive English contract law;
(iii) the subject matter of the arbitration is nearly always a ‘contractual’ matter. These three elements underlie this work. They appear as

Part I (arbitration is founded on agreement),
Part II (monitoring accuracy),
Part III (synopsis of the English contractual rules frequently encountered within arbitration).

The book will be a useful resource to foreign lawyers or English non-lawyers, English lawyers seeking a succinct discussion, and to arbitral tribunals.​
