1. I have before me an application to appoint an arbitrator. This issue raises for the first time in the High Court the application of the UNCITRAL Model Law which has been part of our law of arbitration since 6th April 1990, namely the date of coming into force of the Arbitration (Amendment) (No. 2) Ordinance 1989. The Model Law appears as the 5th Schedule to the Arbitration Ordinance.
