What Is Arbitration?
Arbitration is the adjudication of a claim which is
less formal than litigation in court. It is a
streamlined legal procedure. The arbitrator is usually
an individual or a tribunal selected by the parties
involved or by a neutral party. Arbitration is, most
often used for the resolution of disputes between
businesses or between a business and its customers.
Unlike mediation, an impartial, knowledgeable third
party is empowered to make decisions during the
proceedings. During a mediation, the mediator has no
authority to issue binding decisions. Arbitration is
also sometimes used to scare debtors into paying up.
And it is also commonly used in labor relations to
resolve grievances.
The Employee Free Choice Act allows the use of
arbitration to create a contract when the parties
cannot do so themselves. Arbitration is often
encouraged over traditional court litigation because
arbitration generally results in faster resolution and
usually is less expensive than litigation. In
addition, arbitration results are private and can only
be made public with the consent of the parties
involved. Arbitration is well-established and widely
used. It is one of several types of alternative
dispute resolution.
