Legal disputes threaten the day to day functioning of a business and Legal recourse through litigation is often time consuming and expensive. In order to escape the tiring and expensive court cases, parties often prefer to adopt arbitration as a dispute resolution method.
Arbitration is judicial determination of a dispute, by an impartial and independent third party (arbitrator/s) which is agreed by the parties. The process is binding in nature and is more cost effective and faster as compared to litigation. The parties are free to decide how the dispute is to be resolved, time frame, rules, forum and restrict the court’s interference. The arbitration proceeding is voluntary as the consent of the parties to go for arbitration in case of a dispute shall be included in a valid contract.
Nobody enters into a contract expecting it to ultimately end up in dispute, however one should carefully determine the steps that would be taken to resolve in case where a dispute arises including whether arbitration is the most suitable option for them.
