Arbitration

What.

Alternative to going to court.

Arbitration is the use of a neutral third party to assist parties involved in resolving their dispute, and impose a legally binding decision.

The arbitrator, not the parties involved, make the legally binding decision about the terms of their agreement.

How.

An arbitrator, trained in the areas of arbitration and its relevant laws, is selected by the disputing parties for his/her knowledge and expertise relating to the subject of the dispute.

Either party may involve legal counsel, witnesses or other representation.

The arbitrator reviews the evidence and arguments of each party.

A decision is reached that is binding on both parties.

Why.

Flexible – The form and type of arbitration can be tailored to suit the parties.

Fast - Can be started and resolved quickly, without waiting for court dates.

Cost Efficient - Costs involved are often more efficient than litigation in the courts.

Confidential – With few exceptions, proceedings take place in private and awards are not published without the consent of the parties.

Voluntary – Arbitration takes place only by the parties’ mutual consent.

Final – The arbitrator’s decision is final and binding, and court appeals are rare.
