Commercial Arbitration in Australia Under the Model Law provides an annotated guide to domestic commercial arbitration legislation in Australia under the Uniform Commercial Arbitration Acts.

This pioneering work was first published in 2010 and is now in its Third Edition, co-authored by Professor Doug Jones AO and Professor Janet Walker CM. Since the Second Edition, all States and Territories have enacted Uniform Commercial Arbitration Acts based on the Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration. The Third Edition provides practical guidance and analytical commentary on the growing body of case law applying the Model Law in Australia and around the world. This edition also highlights innovations in institutional rules, including the 2021 Australian Centre for International Commercial Arbitration (ACICA) Rules and 2020 Resolution Institute Rules and explains improvements to the efficiency of arbitration.

Praise for the Third Edition:

“… a superb resource for students, practitioners, academics and judges” – The Hon Neil Kaplan CBE QC SBS, former Judge of the Hong Kong Supreme Court and Chair of HKIAC

“…comprehensive legal scholarship … invaluable experiential insights… a must-read, not only for Australian practitioners, but for arbitrators and arbitral counsel in Model Law countries around the world” – The Right Hon Beverley McLachlin PC CC, Chief Justice of Canada (2000-17)

“The indispensable reference point for all practitioners under the Uniform Australian Arbitration Acts” – Justin Gleeson SC, Solicitor General of Australia (2012-16)

“…it will be cited with approval in common law courts far beyond the antipodean shores whose arbitral jurisprudence it so beautifully captures and crystallises” – Louis Flannery QC, co-author of Merkin and Flannery on the (English) Arbitration Act 1996

“…the ‘go-to’ commercial arbitration text in Australia” – Georgia Quick, President of the Australian Centre for International Commercial Arbitration

Building and Construction Claims and Disputes provides a commentary on the suite of common contractual provisions pertaining to basic and emerging principles of claims, and their interaction with common law and legislation. This commentary also discusses the important developments and trends in the law and construction practice, such as ‘partnering’ agreements, implied duties of good faith, and ADR.
