An article which assesses the Law Commission’s proposed reforms regarding arbitrator immunity and resignations. The important distinctions between a contract to serve as an arbitrator and an ordinary contractual agreement are considered, as are the differences between the contractual and functional theories of arbitrator immunity under English law. The article assesses arbitrator immunity in England and Wales and the application of the doctrine of immunity in the specific context of arbitrator resignations. The current position under English law is considered by reference to the key authorities in this area of law, as are the Law Commission’s proposals. Finally, consideration is given to the areas of uncertainty which shall remain under English law if the proposed reforms are given effect.
