The Arbitration Act 1697[a] (9 Will. 3. c. 15)[b] was an act of the Parliament of England that first provided the legal basis for arbitration of disputes,[1] although the practice of arbitration had been going on for many years before.[2]
The statute was drafted by John Locke at the request of the Board of Trade.[3]
