Arbitration is an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) method in which disputes are resolved by one or more neutral arbitrators rather than through litigation in court.

Arbitration can be a more efficient, flexible, and cost-effective way of resolving disputes, particularly in international contexts where parties may be subject to different legal systems.

Key Aspects of Domestic & International Arbitration

1. Arbitration Agreement

Parties must agree to arbitrate their disputes, either by including an arbitration clause in their contract or through a separate arbitration agreement.

The agreement should specify the governing rules, the number of arbitrators, the method of appointment, and the seat of arbitration.

2. Arbitral Rules and Institutions

Arbitration can be administered by an arbitral institution, such as the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), or the American Arbitration Association (AAA), or it can be ad hoc, meaning it is not governed by an institution. Parties should choose the arbitral rules and institution that best suit their needs and preferences.

3. Arbitrator Selection

Arbitrators are neutral third parties responsible for resolving the dispute. Parties can choose their arbitrators, typically based on their expertise, experience, and impartiality. The number of arbitrators is usually odd (e.g., one or three) to ensure a decisive outcome.

4. Arbitral Proceedings

Arbitral proceedings are generally more flexible than court proceedings, allowing parties to customize the process to suit their needs. The proceedings may involve document exchange, witness statements, expert reports, and oral hearings.

5. Arbitral Award

The arbitrators issue a binding decision, known as an arbitral award, which is final and enforceable. The award can be enforced in most countries under the New York Convention, an international treaty that facilitates the recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards..
