Editorial

This is the first issue of Arbitration Law Monthly . Its purpose is to provide analysis of the most recent judicial rulings and legislative developments affecting arbitrations. The focus is primarily on matters which affect arbitrations with their seat in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, but there will also be coverage of significant decisions from overseas jurisdictions, particularly those which have adopted the UNCITRAL Model Law, as such decisions are directly relevant to practitioners in this country. A network of overseas correspondents has been established. Readers are encouraged to send to the editor any unreported decisions suitable for inclusion, and the submission of short case notes is also welcome. We hope that you find this new publication informative and useful.
