Part 2: Arbitration Modification of Part 1 of the Arbitration Act 1996 Section 22: Modification of Part 1 of the Arbitration Act 1996
The provisions of Part 1 of the Arbitration Act 1996 will apply to arbitration under Part 2 of this Act, as a statutory arbitration, by virtue of section 94(1) of the Arbitration Act. Those provisions will not apply to the extent that they are inconsistent with the provisions of this Act. In addition, section 22 introduces Schedule 1 to the Act which contains modifications to to Part 1 of the Arbitration Act 1996 as it will apply in relation to arbitrations under this Act. Those modifications are needed to ensure that arbitrations under this Act work as intended. For example, paragraph 1(c) of Schedule 1 omits sections 16 to 19 (appointment of arbitrators) of the Arbitration Act 1996, which are inconsistent with sections 7 and 8 of the Act relating to approved arbitration bodies and the appointment of arbitrators.
	The provisions of the Arbitration Act 1996 that will apply, as modified, include those dealing with the general duty of the arbitrator and of the parties (sections 33 and 40), immunity of the arbitrator (section 29), procedural and evidential matters (section 34), settlement of cases (section 51), the effect of an award (section 58), enforcement of the award (section 66), appeals (sections 67 to 69) and immunity of arbitral institutions (section 74).
