Mr. Jan Paulsson, President of the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), addressed students of McGill University in Montreal in a lecture titled "International Arbitration is not Arbitration.
"He said that "International Arbitration is no more a 'type' of arbitration than a sea elephant is a type of elephant. True, one reminds us of the other.
Yet the essential difference of their nature is so great that their similarities are largely illusory."
Arbitration (he said) is an alternative to courts but there is no supra-national court and so, in a national environment, "international arbitration is the only game."
The 1996 Act has experimented with a mixture of adopting the Model Law for both domestic and international commercial arbitrations and awards which has created confusion and disorder.
As domestic awards are not looked upon too seriously by the courts or the parties, international commercial arbitration seated in India is also viewed from the lenses.
The main objective of the Model law was to provide a framework for the regulation of international commercial arbitration and nations and individual legal systems are expected to adopt irrespective of how their domestic arbitration is regulated.
