Arbitration
What is Arbitration?
Arbitration is a process where disputing parties appoint an arbitrator (or a panel) to resolve their dispute. The arbitrator remains neutral and makes a decision based solely on the evidence presented. In a panel, each party appoints an arbitrator, and they choose a chairperson who makes the final decision based on a majority vote.
Arbitration can be binding (with the same authority as a court judgment) or non-binding (where the parties can choose whether to accept the outcome).
When to Use Arbitration?
Arbitration is an efficient and cost-effective alternative to traditional litigation, offering a faster and more flexible process for resolving disputes. It allows both parties to present their cases before a neutral arbitrator, who carefully reviews the evidence and delivers a fair decision. Depending on the agreement, the outcome can be either binding or non-binding, giving parties control over the level of finality they prefer.
Benefits of Arbitration:
Arbitration saves time and costs, ensures confidentiality, and offers fair, unbiased decisions for a private and efficient resolution process.
