Description
Summary:The project embodied by this book - a comparative survey of how every clause in the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration is implemented across 12 Asian jurisdictions - is as ambitious as it is breathtaking. Yet, if anyone can deliver on this scale, it would be Professor Gary Bell, an expert in arbitration law and practice based at the National University of Singapore (NUS) since 1996. Professor Bell is currently Director of the Asian Law Institute and Director of two NUS LLM programmes: Arbitration and Asian Legal Studies. He enjoys the reputation of being one of the region’s foremost experts on Indonesian law, the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and arbitration law, bar none. The seeds sown through Professor Bell’s considerable studies and writings on and experience of comparative law over the past two decades have now borne exceptional fruit in this book.
