The Arbitration Act 1697[a] (9 Will. 3. c. 15)[b] was an act of the Parliament of England that first provided the legal basis for arbitration of disputes,[1] although the practice of arbitration had been going on for many years before.[2]
The statute was drafted by John Locke at the request of the Board of Trade.[3]
Subsequent developments
The whole act was repealed by the Arbitration Act 1889 (52 & 53 Vict. c. 49), which consolidated enactments relating to the arbitration of disputes in England and Wales.
