Abstract
First paragraph: Arbitration has only been widely acknowledged and attracted the attention of the Taiwanese academics and business communities since 1993. This was the time when the Matra Transport case was decided against the Department of Metro Construction of the City of Taipei. The arbitral tribunal awarded the French Matra Transport Company the amount of 25 million pounds sterling. Due to unfamiliarity in Taiwan with the mechanism of arbitration, this award caused a great deal of controversy. Among jurists and judges, a debate concerning the kind of attitude towards international commercial arbitration the Taiwanese legal system should adopt has arisen.
