Abstract

Abstract This chapter examines Section 2 of the IAA, which contains definitions relating to the interpretation of Part II of the IAA. This chapter discusses the definitions and interpretations of the terms “arbitral tribunal”, “appointing authority”, “arbitration agreement”, “award”, “Model Law”, and “party” as set out in Section 2 of the IAA, with reference to relevant case law. This chapter also examines how amendments to Section 2 were made to reflect developments in international arbitration, such as the amendments in 2012 to include emergency arbitrators as part of the definition of “arbitral tribunal”, and amendments to the definition of “arbitration agreement” in line with the 2006 updates to the Model Law.
