While parties are not required to have an attorney to participate in arbitration, arbitration is a final, legally-binding process that may impact a party's rights.
Section 7(1) envisages an 'arbitration agreement' as agreement to submit disputes to arbitration. Hence there is an implied requirement that the parties must be competent to contract. An arbitration agreement must be in writing, but no special form has been prescribed for it.
Arbitration can be binding (which means the participants must follow the arbitrator's decision and courts will enforce it) or nonbinding (meaning either party is free to reject the arbitrator's decision and take the dispute to court, as if the arbitration had never taken place). Binding arbitration is more common.
An arbitration decision or award is legally binding on both sides and enforceable in the courts, unless all parties stipulate that the arbitration process and decision are non-binding.

The arbitration agreement is valid only if signed by parties with full civil act capacity, and such parties must be competent, specifically: (i) A person with full civil act capacity is at least 18 years old and does not lose or limit her/his civil act capacity or difficulties in perception, mastery of acts.

An arbitral award is the decision made by the majority members of an arbitral tribunal, which is final and binding on the parties. Section 35 provides that an arbitral award shall be final and binding on the parties and persons claiming under them.
