What is the difference between mediation and arbitration?
Mediation is a voluntary process where a neutral third-party mediator assists the disputing parties in reaching a mutually satisfactory agreement. The mediator does not impose a decision. On the other hand, arbitration involves a neutral arbitrator (or panel of arbitrators) who hears evidence and then makes a binding decision, much like a court judge.
What is the process of arbitration?
The arbitration process typically includes the following steps: agreement to arbitrate, selection of arbitrator(s), preliminary meeting, exchange of statements of case, discovery or disclosure of evidence, hearing, and finally, the arbitrator's decision (award). The exact process may vary depending on the rules of the chosen arbitration institution and jurisdiction.
Is arbitration binding?
Generally, yes. Arbitration usually results in a final and binding decision known as an arbitral award, which is enforceable in the same manner as a court judgment. However, there are limited grounds upon which an arbitral award can be challenged in court.
What is the role of a mediator in resolving disputes?
A mediator is a neutral third-party who facilitates communication, promotes understanding, focuses the parties on their interests, and uses creative problem-solving techniques to enable the parties to reach their own agreement. They do not impose a solution but help the parties find their own mutually acceptable resolution.
What are the advantages of mediation and arbitration over litigation?
Mediation and arbitration are often faster, less formal, more flexible, and less expensive than litigation. They also provide privacy, as proceedings are usually confidential. Mediation allows for more control over the process and outcome, while arbitration results in a binding decision without the potential for a lengthy appeal process.
