A Study Of The Arbitration Law Regime In Pakistan

1. ABSTRACT

The arbitration law pertaining to domestic arbitration in Pakistan is now very well settled with consistent sanction from the superior courts in the last six decades. Following the ratification of the New York Convention in 2006, international arbitration has been codified in a way that not only provides certainty to the process but also enables international investors to find themselves in a familiar arbitrational jurisdiction. The article also briefly discusses legislative developments with respect to the legal framework of commercial arbitration and canvasses some of the landmark cases reported in various law journals in Pakistan.
