Description
The UNCITRAL Model Law formed the bedrock of national legislative reform for the majority of national arbitration laws. Since then, national legislatures repeatedly improved their own arbitration legislation, moving further and further away from the model text. This panel will look at whether we have moved so far away from the model law that it is time to retire it, and if it is capable of renewing, what one key amendment from their jurisdiction would they make.
