Arbitration

Arbitration is one of the private dispute resolution options that are intended to resolve disputes out of court in an economical and efficient manner, such as mediation. While mediation is a structure negotiation conducted with the help of a neutral and impartial third party, arbitration involves relying on the decision of an arbitrator rather than a judge.
