COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION ACT 2013 - SECT 27

27 Court assistance in taking evidence (cf Model Law Art 27)

(1) The arbitral tribunal or a party with the approval of the arbitral tribunal may request from the Court assistance in taking evidence.

(2) The Court may execute the request within its competence and subject to and in accordance with rules of court.

Note—

This section is substantially the same as Art 27 of the Model Law but the reference to rules of court has been amended for consistency with sections 27A and 27B and a request for assistance may only be made to the Court, not any competent court.
