Why Arbitration?

There are several advantages to using arbitration, including the following:

  1. Speed: Arbitration proceedings are generally faster than court proceedings, particularly in cases where the parties are able to agree on an expedited schedule. This can be especially beneficial in cases where the issues at stake are time-sensitive, such as contract breaches or disputes involving the sale of goods.

  2. Flexibility: Arbitration allows the parties to have more control over the process, including the selection of the arbitrator, the location of the hearing, and the procedures that will be followed. This can make it easier to tailor the process to the specific needs and circumstances of the case.

  3. Confidentiality: Arbitration proceedings are typically private and confidential, unlike court proceedings, which are open to the public. This can be beneficial for parties who wish to keep their disputes out of the public eye.

  4. Expertise: In many cases, the parties can choose an arbitrator who has expertise in the subject matter of the dispute. This can help ensure that the arbitrator is able to understand and evaluate the complex issues involved in the case.

  5. Enforceability: Arbitration awards are generally enforceable in the same way as court judgments, and can be enforced through the courts if necessary. This can provide a greater degree of certainty for the parties and help ensure that the award is respected.
