Alternative Dispute Resolution – Arbitration
ABOUT ARBITRATION
- Arbitration is another form of resolving disputes without resorting to court action.
- The parties to a dispute agree to submit their case to a neutral third party, known as the arbitrator, who acts independently to resolve the matter.
- An arbitration agreement gives the arbitrator the power to issue a decision as to the parties’ rights and obligations. Such decision is legally binding on the parties.
- Parties generally have a dispute resolution provision in their contract that will require the parties to submit any disputes that may arise between them to arbitration.
