Arbitration Act 1996 Arbitration Clause

“The Claimant(s) and the Respondent(s) have agreed that all matters in dispute between them shall be referred to arbitration for final determination in accordance the Arbitration Act 1996 (‘the Act’). The arbitration shall be conducted by a sole arbitrator to be agreed upon by the parties. If the parties are unable to agree upon the identity of an arbitrator within 14 working days from the date of this contract/agreement, the arbitrator shall be appointed and administered by Phoenix Dispute Solutions Limited.”

“Catch All” Dispute Resolution Clause

"The parties shall attempt to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to this contract through negotiations between senior executives of the parties, who have authority to settle the same. If the matter is not resolved by negotiation within 30 days of receipt of a written 'invitation to negotiate', the parties will attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith through an agreed Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) procedure, or in default of agreement, through an ADR procedure as recommended to the parties by the Managing Director of Phoenix. If the matter has not been resolved by an ADR procedure within 60 days of the initiation of that procedure, or if any party will not participate in an ADR procedure, the dispute may be referred to arbitration by any party. The seat of the arbitration shall be [England and Wales]. The arbitration shall be governed by both the [Arbitration Act 1996] and Rules as agreed between the parties. Should the parties be unable to agree on an arbitrator or arbitrators, or be unable to agree on the Rules for Arbitration, any party may, upon giving written notice to other parties, apply to Phoenix for the appointment of an Arbitrator or Arbitrators and for any decision on rules that may be necessary. Nothing in this clause shall be construed as prohibiting a party or its affiliate from applying to a court for interim injunctive relief."

Mediation Clause

"In the event of a dispute arising out of or relating to this agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination, the parties shall seek settlement of that dispute by mediation in accordance with the Phoenix Mediation Rules, which Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this clause."
