A. LEGISLATION, TRENDS AND TENDENCIES

A.1 Legislation

Despite repeated attempts to obtain congressional approval to adopt the UNCITRAL Model Law as the Argentine federal arbitration act, Argentina still does not have federal legislation specifically dealing with arbitration. Instead, the country’s civil procedure codes contain arbitration regulations. Because Argentina is a federal country, each province has its own code of civil procedure that applies within that province. The National Code of Civil and Commercial Procedure (“CPCCN”) applies to the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (the capital) and in each federal court across the country.3 Because the provincial codes tend to be consistent with the CPCCN as regards arbitration, this report will only refer to the CPCCN.
