Sarah Murphy (Partner and Co-Head, Disputes & Investigations), Ciarán Ó Conluain (Partner, Disputes and Investigations), Simon Barber (Senior lawyer, Disputes & Investigations) and Rachel Kemp (Senior Practice Development Lawyer, Litigation & Dispute Resolution) author a Practice Note on the Irish Arbitration Act 2010 for Practical Law. The Practice Note is updated annually and the most recent update has recently been published.
The Practice Note provides an overview of the Irish Arbitration Act 2010 and its key provisions and outlines how the legislation unifies and streamlines Irish arbitration law, permitting only limited court intervention consistent with the courts' pro-arbitration stance. The Practice Note explores the power of arbitrators, the role of the High Court and the narrow grounds for challenging an award. It also discusses Ireland as a venue for arbitration and significant recent developments.
A&L Goodbody’s Practice Note can be downloaded as a PDF here, and the full guide is available online here (registration required).
Please contact ALG’s Arbitration Team should you have any arbitration-related queries.
