Section 1: Form of arbitration agreement

(1) Every arbitration agreement shall be in writing contained-
(a) in a document signed by the parties; or
(b) in an exchange of letters, telex, telegrams or other means of communication which provide a record of the arbitration agreement; or
(c) in an exchange of points of claim and of defence in which the existence of an arbitration agreement is alleged by one party and not denied by another.
(2) Any reference in a contract to a document containing an arbitration clause constitutes an arbitration agreement if such contract is in writing and the reference is such as to make that clause part of the contract.
