Model Law
The Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration is a model arbitration law, produced by UNCITRAL, with the aim of assisting states in reforming and modernising their national arbitration laws, leading to a degree of harmonisation internationally. More than 100 jurisdictions have enacted arbitration legislation either adopting or influenced by the Model Law (see UNCITRAL Model Law Status), including popular arbitral seats like Singapore and Hong Kong. The English Arbitration Act 1996 contains many provisions based upon the Model Law, but English law has not adopted the entirety of the Model Law.
