What is Good Faith

Arbitration is confidential in nature. The parties to a dispute must agree to keep the matter under wraps at all times. It should be noted that the UNCITRAL model law does not include a provision guaranteeing confidentiality in international commercial arbitration, which is a major reason why this is not guaranteed legally in many countries. However, countries like Scotland, New Zealand, Peru, and Australia have strict regulations governing the privacy of their citizens' personal information. The exact situation is unique in each country. Even though there is no express provision for confidentiality in UK statutes, case law has evolved to protect such information. As a result, it's important to examine and discuss the circumstances in various nations. This chapter will make an effort to shed light on the confidentiality clause per se, as well as the confidentiality of international arbitration.
