Arbitration under an arbitration agreement
A clear, dated summary of what happened and what each party expected.
Commencing the process
Some matters cannot, by law, be resolved by arbitration and must be decided by courts; whether ADR is available depends on the nature of the dispute.
Where a contract requires disputes to be arbitrated, the process is generally governed by that agreement and the arbitration law in force. Guidance may be sought on appointing arbitrators, framing the issues, and conducting the proceedings.
In mediation and conciliation a neutral facilitator helps the parties explore a negotiated settlement. These processes are voluntary in spirit and aim to preserve relationships that a contested hearing can strain.
Once arbitrators decide a dispute they issue an arbitral award. Questions often arise about whether an award can be enforced, or whether grounds exist to apply for it to be set aside within the time the law allows.
Step 1
Arbitration typically begins with a notice invoking the clause and steps to constitute the tribunal. Mediation and conciliation begin when the parties agree to participate and a neutral is appointed.
Step 2
In arbitration the parties exchange their positions and evidence and are heard before the tribunal. In mediation and conciliation the neutral works with the parties toward a settlement they draft themselves.
Step 3
Arbitration ends in an arbitral award. Mediation and conciliation end in a settlement agreement if the parties reach one. What happens next — enforcement, or a challenge within the permitted time — depends on the outcome and the law.
Step 4
The first question is usually what the parties agreed. An arbitration agreement or dispute-resolution clause often determines whether a matter goes to arbitration, and on what terms.
People looking for alternative dispute resolution (adr) in SIRKALI may also research enforcement of arbitral award, setting aside an arbitral award, domestic arbitration, commercial arbitration, and institutional arbitration. The relevance of these topics depends on the facts and law applicable to the individual matter.
Frequently asked questions
ADR is often more private and flexible and can be quicker, but this is not guaranteed in every matter. The suitability of arbitration, mediation, or conciliation depends on the dispute, the agreement between the parties, and the relief sought.
In arbitration, one or more arbitrators hear the dispute and decide it by issuing an award that binds the parties. In mediation, a neutral facilitator helps the parties negotiate their own settlement and does not impose a decision. Conciliation is similar to mediation in that it is settlement-focused.
An arbitration agreement generally directs how disputes under that contract are to be resolved. Whether and how it applies to a particular dispute depends on the wording of the clause and the law, so the clause itself is the natural starting point.
The law allows an award to be challenged only on limited grounds and within a defined time. Whether any ground applies depends entirely on the facts and the award, which is why the award and the record are reviewed carefully.
