Commentary on Sections Schedule 1 – Scottish Arbitration Rules Rule 75 – Immunity of experts, witnesses and legal representatives Mandatory
247.As arbitration is a private version of judicial proceedings, the Act places experts, witnesses and legal representatives in no more vulnerable a position if they are taking part in arbitration proceedings than if they are taking part in civil court proceedings. Rule 75 therefore makes mandatory provision for this immunity for experts, witnesses and legal representatives in arbitration.
