to
The Arbitration Act 2025 updates UK law to modernise how disputes between businesses and individuals are resolved outside of courts through arbitration. The Act streamlines arbitration procedures, clarifies the powers of arbitrators, and establishes new rules for managing complex commercial disputes more efficiently. It aims to make arbitration faster and more costeffective than traditional court proceedings while maintaining fairness and due process. The legislation reflects international best practices and positions the UK as a competitive centre for international dispute resolution.
