The revision strikes a fair balance between reinforcing Switzerland’s attractiveness as a hub for international arbitration and modernising the law with the introduction of some new features such as, e.g., the possibility to submit a motion to set aside an arbitral award before the Swiss Federal Supreme Court in English. Overall, the amendments do not constitute a major upheaval for Switzerland’s international arbitration law. Many modifications formalise accepted practises and established case law from the Swiss Federal Supreme Court. With the amended bill, the drafters maintained the succinct and user-friendliness of the Swiss law on international arbitration.
