Trade and Commerce—Arbitration

Arbitration law enacted by a colony was “an act for the more easy and effectually finishing of controversies by arbitration,” passed at the legislative session held from October 11 to November 2, 1753, in New Haven, CT. Three arbitrators were appointed, one by each side and one by the court. The court was granted power to levy and collect the awards.

Arbitration law enacted by a state was passed on December 15, 1778, by the General Assembly of Maryland, in Annapolis, which ruled that “it shall be lawful to and for such court to give judgment upon the award of the person or persons to whom such submission and reference shall be made.”

Arbitration law enacted by Congress was “an act to make valid and enforceable written provisions or agreements for arbitration of disputes arising out of contracts, maritime transactions or commerce among the States or Territories or with foreign nations,” approved on February 12, 1925.
