From the reviews
“A truly international treatise where theory meets actual practice. Not only does this book provide a useful and interesting background to the UNCITRAL Model Law, but more critically an instructive and in-depth analysis of each article, describing its purpose and application across numerous jurisdictions. Clearly a useful and practical addition to the existing body of law.”
“We now have the pleasure of a commentary that does justice to the significant achievements of the UNCITRAL Model Law. A diverse group of authors thoroughly analyse each of its 36 articles, comparing each one's application in diverse jurisdictions, without ever losing sight of the Model Law's initial raison d'être. An enlightening and accessible treatise that is fundamental to a proper understanding of this increasingly widespread legal text.”
“The book is essential for international business as well as teaching.”
“insightful comparative legal analysis of the world's primary instrument of arbitration law. An absolute essential, both for practitioners and academics.”
