Arbitration is a form of alternative dispute resolution that resolves
disputes outside the judiciary courts. It is often used for the resolution
of commercial disputes, especially in international contexts. Arbitration
has many advantages and disadvantages compared to litigation, such
as:
- Arbitration is usually faster, cheaper, and more flexible than litigation.

- Arbitration allows the parties to choose their own arbitrator, who may
have expertise in the subject matter of the dispute.
- Arbitration is more confidential and less formal than litigation, which
may preserve the relationship between the parties.
- Arbitration is generally binding and final, which means that the parties
cannot appeal the arbitrator’s decision to a court, unless there is a
serious error or misconduct by the arbitrator.
- Arbitration may limit the parties’ rights to discovery, evidence, and
cross-examination, which may affect the fairness and quality of the
decision.
- Arbitration may not be suitable for complex or public interest cases,
where the parties may prefer a judicial review and precedent.
Arbitration can be classified into different types, depending on the

source of the agreement to arbitrate, the scope of the arbitration
clause, the rules and procedures of the arbitration, and the
enforceability of the arbitration award. Some common types of
arbitration are:
- Contractual arbitration: This is when the parties agree to arbitrate
their disputes arising from a contract, either before or after the dispute
arises. The arbitration clause may be part of the contract, or a separate
agreement. The parties may specify the details of the arbitration, such
as the number and qualifications of the arbitrators, the place and
language of the arbitration, and the applicable law and rules.
- Statutory arbitration: This is when the parties are required to arbitrate
their disputes by a statute, either as a condition of obtaining a license,
or as an alternative to a court action. The statute may provide the
framework and guidelines for the arbitration, such as the eligibility and
appointment of the arbitrators, the scope and limits of the arbitration,
and the review and enforcement of the arbitration award.
- Institutional arbitration: This is when the parties agree to arbitrate
their disputes under the auspices of an arbitration institution, such as
the American Arbitration Association, the International Chamber of
Commerce, or the London Court of International Arbitration. The
arbitration institution may administer the arbitration, provide the
arbitrators, and apply its own rules and procedures.
- Ad hoc arbitration: This is when the parties agree to arbitrate their
disputes without the involvement of an arbitration institution. The
parties may design their own arbitration process, or adopt a set of
rules, such as the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules. The parties may also
seek the assistance of a court or a neutral third party to appoint the
arbitrators, supervise the arbitration, and enforce the arbitration award.
The arbitration process typically involves the following steps:

- Initiation of the arbitration: The party who wants to initiate the
arbitration sends a notice of arbitration to the other party, stating the
nature and basis of the dispute, the relief sought, and the proposed
arbitrator(s).
- Appointment of the arbitrator(s): The parties may agree on the
number and qualifications of the arbitrator(s), or follow the procedure
specified in the arbitration agreement, statute, or rules. If the parties
cannot agree, a court or a neutral third party may appoint the
arbitrator(s).
- Submission of the pleadings: The parties exchange their written
submissions, outlining their factual and legal arguments, and supporting
them with evidence and documents. The parties may also request for
additional information or documents from each other, or from third
parties, depending on the rules and discretion of the arbitrator(s).
- Conduct of the hearing: The arbitrator(s) hold a hearing, where the
parties present their oral arguments, examine and cross-examine the
witnesses, and submit any additional evidence or documents. The
hearing may be conducted in person, by telephone, or by
videoconference, depending on the rules and convenience of the
parties and the arbitrator(s).
- Issuance of the award: The arbitrator(s) deliberate and issue a written
award, stating the reasons and the outcome of the arbitration. The
award may grant any relief that the arbitrator(s) deem appropriate,
such as damages, injunctions, declarations, or specific performance.
The award may also allocate the costs and fees of the arbitration
between the parties.
- Enforcement of the award: The parties are expected to comply with
the award voluntarily. If a party fails to do so, the other party may seek
the enforcement of the award by a court, either in the same jurisdiction
as the arbitration, or in another jurisdiction where the party has assets.
The enforcement of the award may be subject to the recognition and
enforcement of foreign arbitral awards by the New York Convention,
which has been ratified by more than 160 countries.
