Abstract
This paper was one of two on the topic of maritime arbitration presented at the 1989 MLAANZ Conference. In it, Byrne discusses the advantages and disadvantages (and jurisdictional and procedural aspects) of arbitration as a method of resolving maritime disputes, especially as compared with other dispute resolution procedures and litigation. The paper is contemporary with recent substantial changes to the Arbitration (Foreign Awards and Agreements) Act 1974, which implemented the provisions of the 1958 New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards.
