ArbitrationArbitration is an adjudicative process covered under the Arbitration Act 1996 as an agreed method of resolving commercial and other disputes. It is an alternative to the court process and is flexible by agreement in some areas. However, it is concerned with facts and law, i.e. rules of evidence and natural justice. It can vary between a full hearing with lawyers to unrepresented “fast-track” arbitration in a neutral venue or on the premises. My award is binding on the parties and can be enforced by the High Court.
