Arbitration

What is Arbitration?

Arbitration is a procedure in which a dispute is submitted, by agreement of the parties, to one or more arbitrators who make a binding decision on the dispute. In choosing arbitration, the parties opt for a private dispute resolution procedure instead of going to court.

The Arbitration is one of the oldest and best-established alternatives to litigation in the court and judicial systems.

Its principal characteristics are:

  • Arbitration is consensual;

  • The parties choose the arbitrator(s);

  • Arbitration is neutral;

  • Arbitration is a confidential procedure;

  • Arbitration costs less than litigation;

  • Arbitration is less formal;

  • Arbitration is fast.

Parties can choose the arbitrator. The choice may simply be someone has a reputation for being fair and reasonable. Or, the parties may arrange that the arbitrator will be someone who is experienced in the subject matter of the dispute (be it medical malpractice, engineering, or securities) in the expectation that this will produce a fairer result than could be obtained before even a highly qualified, but generalist judge, or a lay jury.

The contract or arbitration agreement permits the parties to determine what substantive rules apply. The contract or arbitration agreement permits the parties to determine what substantive rules apply. Parties may also decide on the language and seat of arbitration.
