The reform replaced the earlier provisions of the ZPO that had been in force since 1877, modernising German arbitration law and aligning it with international standards. Section 1025 defines the scope of application: the provisions apply to domestic and international arbitrations seated in Germany, with supplementary application to arbitrations seated outside Germany for certain procedural matters, including the recognition and enforcement of awards. The German approach closely follows the Model Law&rsquo;s structure and terminology, making German arbitration law accessible to international practitioners and predictable in its application.</p>
