On 28 July 2011, the LCIA
opened a new arbitration centre in Mauritius, the LCIA-MIAC (Mauritius International Arbitration Centre).
The opening of the new LCIA-MIAC arbitration centre forms part of the LCIA's project to work in overseas jurisdictions to establish centres of excellence for arbitration.
It follows the venture project in 2008 with the Dubai International Financial Centre to create DIFC-LCIA and the establishment of LCIA India in 2009. LCIA-MIAC will now begin work on drafting the arbitration and mediation rules for the centre and setting up the administration.
For more information on the new arbitration centre, please see the LCIA website.
