Arbitration In Malaysia

Arbitration in Malaysia : A commentary on the Malaysian Arbitration Act By Thayananthan Baskaran

The Malaysian Arbitration Act 2005 is the subject of this analysis. Section by section, the commentary follows the Act. It presents the text of each provision of the Act in chronological sequence, followed by an explanation of the section's purpose. The commentary then follows each part of the Act back to the Model Law or legislation it is based on, as well as the Model Law's or statute's history. The provisions of each section are then explained in terms of their applicability and impact.

The remark is mostly based on how Malaysian courts have interpreted the Arbitration Act 2005 in the decade after it came into effect. When a section of the Act has yet to be construed by the courts, UNCITRAL reports, comments on the Model Law and legislation from other Model Law countries, and statutory interpretation principles are used.
