Arbitration is an adjudicative dispute resolution mechanism. It is based on an agreement between parties to refer a dispute to an impartial arbitrator(s) for a decision.
Arbitration is essentially a more private version of litigation and a huge part of international and domestic commercial dispute resolution industry. Like other forms of ADR, it provides a number of benefits for parties in a commercial dispute:
- In highly technical disputes, parties can choose an arbitrator with the relevant background expertise. This is unlike litigation, where you are unable to choose the appropriate judge.
- Arbitration is cheaper and more flexible than litigation.
- Arbitration is usually faster than litigation.
- Arbitration helps parties keep their disputes private.
- Arbitration provides a definitive conclusion to the claim as parties usually forego their right to appeal.
