Issue 41, 2025

This issue focuses on recent developments in arbitration law and practice. We begin with the Arbitration Act 2025, which came into force on 1 August and modernises key aspects of the UK’s arbitral framework. We then examine Deinon Insurance Brokers LLC v Reen, a case decided under the Arbitration Act 1996, which offers insights as the UK transitions to the new legislation. This is followed by a review of Zhongshan Fucheng Industrial Investment Co Ltd v The Federal Republic of Nigeria, in which the BVI Commercial Court considered the scope of a state’s commitment under a bilateral investment treaty. The issue concludes with an analysis of Eletson Gas LLC v A Limited & Ors, a judgment clarifying principles on the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards.
