During London Arbitration Week, CJC and 36 Stone will be hosting an expert-led session that takes a closer look at the Arbitration Act 2025. 

On 1 August 2025, the Arbitration Act 2025 came into force, introduced as several 'A' sections within the Arbitration Act 1996. Although the 1996 Act has not undergone a complete reform, these new sections are set to influence the practice of maritime arbitration in London, including arbitrations conducted under LMAA terms.

This session will focus on:

- The law applicable to arbitration agreements

- The duty of disclosure

- The powers of summary dismissal

- Emergency arbitrators

Moderated by Arbitrator, Sir Jeremy Cooke, speakers include:

Professor Charles Debattista, Barrister, 36 Stone

Bethany Smith, Barrister, 36 Stone

David Owens, Director, Campbell Johnston Clark 

Richard Hickey, Managing Associate, Campbell Johnston Clark 

Date: Thursday 4th December

Time: 8:30am - 10:00am

Location: Campbell Johnston Clark, 59 Mansell St, E1 8AN
