Abstract: From recent practice of judicial review on international commercial arbitration in Chinese People's Court from 2002 to 2010, it can be found that the Chinese People's Court tends to favour the international commercial arbitration and is creating a favourable environment to arbitration, which could be revealed in judicial review on the application of setting aside the foreign-related arbitral award. In view of the importance of arbitration in international civil and commercial dispute settlement, empirical studies on judicial review of international arbitration in Chinese People's Courts are of practical significance. The current developments of the judicial review on the application of setting aside foreign-related arbitral awards should be emphasised. In addition, the report system of Chinese People's Court on the judicial review of international arbitral award is important but still has defects, which should be reformed and the appeal system need to be established.

Keywords: judicial review; foreign-related arbitral awards; commercial arbitration; China; dispute settlements; international arbitration; appeal systems.
