Arbitration is a dispute-resolution process in which the parties select a neutral third party to resolve their claims. Parties typically agree to arbitrate in order to avoid the time, expense, and complexity of litigation.
Arbitration is often used for the resolution of commercial disputes, particularly in the context of international commercial transactions.
Arbitration has four types of functions: resolving contractual disputes between management and labor, addressing interests of different parties in bargaining situations such as public sector labor relations, settling litigated claims through court-annexed programs, and resolving community disputes.
