Arbitration as ADR
Arbitration, a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), is a technique for the resolution of disputes outside the Courts, where the parties to a dispute refer it to one or more persons (the “Arbitrators”, “Arbiters” or “Arbitral Tribunal”), by whose decision (the “Award”) they agree to be bound. It is a resolution technique in which a third party reviews the evidence in the case and imposes a decision that is legally binding for both sides and enforceable.
Advantages / Features of Arbitration:
(i) Arbitral proceedings and an arbitral award are generally non-public, and can be made confidential.

(iii) An alternative to National Court.
(iv) A private mechanism for dispute resolution.
(v) Arbitrators selected by the parties.
(vi) Final and binding determination of parties’ right and obligations.
(vii) Easy enforcement of awards
(viii) Neutrality.
(ix) Confidentiality.
(x) Expeditious.
(xi) Cost Advantage.
