Abstract
This article assesses trends in Australian court litigation involving the International Arbitration Act, especially since major amendments in 2010. It focuses on a (somewhat surprising) increase in judgments, proportions of cases being filed in federal or other courts, (largely unchanged) case disposition times and appeals. More efforts, including another round of significant legislative reforms, are needed to promote further "cultural change" for arbitration in Australia.
