The Impact of Brexit on the Arbitration Procedure in Great Britain

The current position of the UK as the most frequently chosen place for international commercial arbit-ration is the result of long period of growth and development of arbitration proceedings in this country. As of 31 December 2020, the UK ceased to be a member of the EU, the problem arose how would in-ternational arbitration in this country look like. The main aim of this contribution is firstly to show how the arbitration procedure in the UK works and what is its legal basis. The paper then focuses on the procedure for the recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards, which is particularly impor-tant now in the view of Brexit. Next, the author presents issues that may be problematic in connection with Brexit, i.e., so called anti-suit junctions and public policy.
