 Benefits of Arbitration

The differences between Litigation, Arbitration and Negotiation

Litigation 

One party without the agreement of the other party can proceed with litigation

The judge makes a decision and  produces a judgment

The judgment is enforceable by the Court

The parties can not choose their judge, the duration or the costs

Court judgment is public and it is not confidential

Arbitration

Both parties must agree to resolve their dispute by arbitration, one party on their own cannot go to arbitration

The arbitrator makes a decision and produces a judgment called an “Award”

The judgment is enforceable in the same way as a judgment by the court

The parties can choose their arbitrator, place of arbitration, the date of the arbitration and the cost of the arbitration

Arbitration is confidential and not public

Mediation

Both parties must agree to Mediation 

The Mediator does not make a decision, the mediator facilitate the negotiation between the parties

The parties decision is not enforceable by the court 

The parties can choose their mediator, place of mediation, time and the cost of mediation.

 Saving time and money on disputes:

Why Arbitration? 

Traditionally disputes have been costly in time and money and can also be emotionally expensive.

The management of a case by the Court is out of the parties control. The dates and the Courts may be changed at any time.

There is a better way to resolve disputes where the parties can choose their judge, agree the  length of time that the case should take, taking as long or as little time as the parties wish.  The parties can even agree on the cost of resolving their dispute as well as agreeing on the  venue. The whole case can be quicker, cheaper and where and when the parties wishes it to be. In many cases the judgment can be based on papers only if the parties choose.  This is called Arbitration where the judgment has the same enforceability as a court of Law. The parties can even decide and agree on blocking any appeals if they want, before they start. Above all, unlike court cases Arbitration is confidential.

In order to promote arbitration, ENGlegal is offering a highly qualified arbitrator and full Arbitration awards at reduced fees for a limited time:

Arbitration £1000 per day + expenses (hiring venue, recording and travel expenses).

A major challenge in international interactions is the cultural barrier between western customs, attitudes and those of other parts of the world, for example the Middle East. With a deep understanding of both cultures it is possible to understand not just what is happening on the surface but the thought processes of various parties. Equally important is an understanding of what works best and what does not work on each side.
