Legal-route research

  • 27 September 2026 — The official revised text of the Arbitration Act 2010 annotates section 5A (third-party funding of dispute resolution proceedings, inserted by the Courts and Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2023, s. 124) as not commenced as of the date of revision. No operative funding permission for arbitration-related proceedings can be inferred from the provision until a commencement order is located.
