Arbitration Proceedings

Arbitration proceedings are an efficient way of settling business disputes as an alternative to court proceedings. In arbitration proceedings disputes are settled quickly and with expertise. Arbitration proceedings are used especially in the business community. The procedure can be applied only to disputes which can be settled between the parties.

The parties may, for example in a written arbitration agreement or in the Articles of Association, agree that any disputes arising between them shall be settled in arbitration. Arbitration clauses defined by contract are generally used for example in shareholder agreements, consulting, distribution and agency agreements. The settlement of the case by the Arbitral Tribunal is final. The arbitral award is directly enforceable in same way as a final judgement by a court of law.

In addition to confidential proceedings, it is an advantage of arbitration that the arbitrators have the special expertise necessary to settle the disputes. The parties may agree on the number of arbitrators. On the other hand, the parties cannot influence the selection of the arbitrators when they are appointed by the Arbitration Institute.
