A. LEGISLATION, TRENDS AND TENDENCIES
A.1 2011 Legal Reform
In 2011, the Mexican arbitration law contained within the Mexican Commercial Code and based on the UNCITRAL Model law,3 was modified to modernize and clarify the role that Mexican courts should take with arbitration proceedings. This reform is still quite commented upon in the Mexican arbitration community, chiefly because many of the new rules remain untested in the courts. As reported in previous Yearbooks, the reform created a friendlier environment for arbitral proceedings as well as court proceedings associated with or arising out of arbitration.
