Green & Hunt on Arbitration Law and Practice is a comprehensive treatment of arbitration in New Zealand: the legal framework and the practical considerations of conducting arbitrations.

First published in 1993, this service has become established as the leading authority on arbitration. All relevant New Zealand legislation on the arbitration process is presented with full commentary, and the product also provides a discursive overview of arbitration and the entire arbitration process.

New Zealand arbitration is regulated by the Arbitration Act 1996, and Green & Hunt provides section-by-section commentary on this legislation. There is also detailed information on international arbitration - including international conventions and rules - and specialist New Zealand industry arbitration processes.

Green & Hunt on Arbitration Law and Practice is an essential resource for anyone who is a professional arbitrator or for lawyers and others involved in alternative dispute resolution. Any legal practice with business clients will also find the service of excellent value as a practical guide to an increasingly important way of resolving commercial disputes.
