Chapter 2 : International Commercial Arbitration

7. Matters subject to international commercial arbitration

 

(1) For the purposes of this Chapter, any international commercial dispute which the parties have agreed to submit to arbitration under an arbitration agreement and which relates to a matter which the parties are entitled to dispose of by agreement may be determined by arbitration, unless—
(a) such a dispute is not capable of determination by arbitration under any law of the Republic; or
(b) the arbitration agreement is contrary to the public policy of the Republic.

 

(2) Arbitration may not be excluded solely on the ground that an enactment confers jurisdiction on a court or other tribunal to determine a matter falling within the terms of an arbitration agreement.
