  • On April 1, 1987, Japan's new system for regulation of activities of foreign lawyers came into effect. After considerable internal and external debate, Japan joined those other jurisdictions that have provided a regularized, limited professional status for foreign lawyers advising on foreign and international law. On May 21, the first three foreign lawyers gained approval from the Ministry of Justice. Meanwhile, in 1986–87, the District of Columbia, Michigan, Hawaii and California joined New York in permitting practice by foreign legal consultants. Similar rules are now pending in Texas as well. The California, District of Columbia and New York rules appear at I.L.M. page 977.

  • Netherlands: New Statute on Arbitration

  • Emmanuel Gaillard
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    27 February 2017, pp. 921-948

  • On July 2, 1986, the Dutch Parliament adopted a statute modernizing Dutch law on arbitration. Although it does not technically distinguish between domestic and international arbitration, this statute, following the trend initiated by the United Kingdom [1979 Arbitration Act, 18 I.L.M. 1249 (1979)], France [Decree of May 12, 1981, 20 I.L.M. 917 (1981)], and Belgium [March 27, 1985 Statute, 25 I.L.M. 725 (1986)], clearly purports to liberalize Dutch law on international arbitration. The travaux preparatoires states that it does not substantially depart from the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration [24 I.L.M. 1302 (1985)]. The statute came into force on December 1, 1986, and applies to pending arbitration cases.
