Wednesday, 26 April
The achievement of uniformity in principles and procedures is an acknowledged means by which courts may more efficiently support, facilitate and supervise domestic and international arbitrations. The introduction of the Supreme Court Arbitration Rules (2016) (WA) (Arbitration Rules), which largely mirror similar rules in the Federal Court and Victoria, represents a significant step in that regard.
Chief Justice Wayne Martin has previously stated that it is important for the courts to do whatever they can to encourage and facilitate commercial arbitration. In that regard, the introduction of the Arbitration Rules sends a positive signal to stakeholders.
Join our guest speaker Glyn Watson who will consider the likely benefits of the rules from a practitioner perspective.
