ABSTRACT
Whilst the Acts are known as the Commercial Arbitration Acts, there is nothing in the Acts which prescribes that only commercial disputes are to be arbitrated. Therefore, the title of the Acts is rather misleading, in that any dispute may be arbitrated provided the dispute qualifies under s 3 of the Acts. However, readers should note s 3(6), which precludes certain statutory arbitrations under relevant Supreme Court and district court (or equivalent) legislation.
