Arbitration Act 1996 · 1996 c. 23View on legislation.gov.uk

Part I: Arbitration pursuant to an arbitration agreement

The following provisions have effect where the court makes an order under section 67, 68 or 69 with respect to an award.

Where the award is varied, the variation has effect as part of the tribunal's award.

Where the award is remitted to the tribunal, in whole or in part, for reconsideration, the tribunal shall make a fresh award in respect of the matters remitted within three months of the date of the order for remission or such longer or shorter period as the court may direct.

Where the award is set aside or declared to be of no effect, in whole or in part, the court may also order that any provision that an award is a condition precedent to the bringing of legal proceedings in respect of a matter to which the arbitration agreement applies, is of no effect as regards the subject matter of the award or, as the case may be, the relevant part of the award.
