This§book deals with the contractual platform for arbitration and the application of§contractual norms to the parties' dispute.§§Arbitration and agreement are§inter-linked in three respects: (i) the agreement to arbitrate is itself a§contract; (ii) there is scope (subject to clear consensual exclusion) in§England for monitoring the arbitral tribunal's fidelity and accuracy in§applying substantive English contract law; (iii) the subject-matter of the§arbitration is nearly always a `contractual' matter. These three elements§underlie this work. They appear as Part I (arbitration is founded on§agreement), Part II (monitoring accuracy), Part III (synopsis of the English§contractual rules frequently encountered within arbitration).§§The§book will be a useful resource to foreign lawyers or English non-lawyers,§English lawyers seeking a succinct discussion, and to arbitral tribunals.§
