Abstract

McKay discusses the perceived advantages of arbitration, and the erosion of some of those advantages as arbitration procedures follow more closely the procedures of the courts. McKay also looks at certain trends throughout the common law world affecting both arbitration and litigation, which pose a serious threat to both as effective means of ensuring justice.
