1: Schedule 1, page 21, line 19, at end insert—
“(g) in section 74 (immunity of arbitral institutions)—
(i) in subsection (1), for “appoint or nominate” there were substituted “appoint, nominate or remove”;
(ii) in subsection (2), for “appointed or nominated”, in both places, there were substituted “appointed, nominated or removed”.”
Member’s explanatory statement
The amendment would ensure that section 74 of the Arbitration Act (which prevents an arbitration body from incurring liability) applies to the function under the Bill of removing an arbitrator on the same basis as it currently applies to the function of appointing an arbitrator.
