Unlike the United States, all Canadian provinces and the federal government have adopted legislation implementing the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration (bit. ly/1DbWZiC) that governs international arbitrations conducted in Canada and the enforcement of international arbitration awards. Principles first enunciated in the 1958 New York Convention (bit. ly/1n4KXNT) and amplified in the Model Law that limit judicial intervention and preclude any review of the merits of an arbitral award on matters of either fact or law are therefore applicable and consistently enforced throughout Canada with respect to international arbitrations. The Canadian province of British Columbia was the first jurisdiction anywhere in the world to adopt the Model Law.
