The Arbitration Act 2025 (the “Act”) received Royal Assent on 24 February 2025. Its stated aim is to amend the Arbitration Act 1996, which governs arbitral claims seated in England and Wales. It marks a gentle evolution of the existing arbitration framework, rather than a wholesale overhaul, and is designed to respond to a number of uncertain or complex issues in the English arbitral regime, as well as developments in arbitral practice since 1996.
