In a country with a broad international reach, the German business community has always been-and remains-among the primary users of arbitration. Thus, when in 1998 Germany adopted with only slight modifications the UNCITRAL Model Law on Commercial Arbitration for both its international and domestic law, the stage was set for what promised to be a great proving ground for the Model Law, as Germany's courts would have to consider many diverse and complex issues arising under the new law-decisions that would benefit courts and practitioners everywhere. Now, this hugely valuable publication provides the first full, detailed commentary in English on the German arbitration law, as well as on the rules of the German Institution of Arbitration (DIS). Thirty-eight leading German lawyers and scholars deal comprehensively with the particular ways in which German law handles all arbitration matters.
Thus this work presents, for the first time, the full workings of the German system to an English-speaking audience.
This is a much-needed reference work providing practitioners and academics with a detailed commentary on and thorough analysis of German arbitration law and practice.
This extraordinary book, written by the drafters themselves, with more than 550 pages of comprehensive article-by-article commentary, is filled with practical insights and recommendations regarding the application of the Rules.
The book further contains an overview of the alternative dispute resolution mechanisms in use in Germany including mediation. The work provides quick access to the issues significant for practical purposes, in particular to foreign readers.
