FL S1114

Replaces Florida's international arbitration law with the "Florida International Commercial Arbitration Act" based on the UNCITRAL Model Law, applying to international commercial arbitrations with a seat in Florida.

Establishes comprehensive arbitration procedures including: arbitrator appointment and challenge mechanisms, tribunal jurisdiction determinations, interim measures of protection, arbitral proceedings rules, and award formation requirements.

Allows courts to intervene only as authorized by the act, including referring parties to arbitration when an arbitration agreement exists, granting interim measures, and assisting in witness examination.

Permits arbitral tribunals to grant interim measures and preliminary orders to preserve the status quo, prevent harm, preserve assets, or maintain evidence; preliminary orders expire after 20 days but may be replaced by interim measures after the other party is heard.

Limits court review of arbitral awards to a 3-month window post-award, allowing set-aside only on grounds including party incapacity, invalid arbitration agreement, lack of proper notice, decisions beyond arbitration scope, procedural violations, or public policy conflicts.
