MR SPEAKER IS PRESENTED WITH A COPY OF PUBLICATION: A HANDBOOK ON MALTESE ARBITRATION LAW

The Chairman of the Malta Arbitration Centre Dr Max Ganado called on the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Hon. Anton Tabone, to present him with a copy of the Centre's publication: A Handbook on Maltese Arbitration Law.

The Handbook contains the Arbitration Act, the Arbitration Rules, the Tariff of Arbitration Fees and an unofficial translation of the Parliamentary debates on the Arbitration Act 1996, when it was enacted; as well as when it was recently being amended in 1999, besides other relevant information. It is a useful reference on the arbitration system and its proceedings.

The Arbitration Act of 1996 and the subsequent Amendment Act of 1999 were passed through Parliament with the support of both sides of the House of Representatives.

Mr. Speaker thanked Dr. Ganado, who was accompanied by Mr. Godfrey Demarco, Registrar of the Malta Arbitration Centre, for the presentation of the publications which will also be forwarded to the Whips of both sides of the House, and augured that a fruitful discussion will take place on the pertinent subject in the near future.
