Arbitration is a legal technique for the resolution of disputes outside the courts, In arbitration, an arbitrator, hears all sides of the issue, studies the evidence, and then decides by passing an Award. It is more helpful, however to classify arbitration as a form of binding dispute resolution, equivalent to litigation in the courts, and entirely distinct from the various forms of non-binding dispute resolution, such as negotiation, mediation, or non-binding determinations by experts. Arbitration is today most commonly used for the resolution of commercial disputes, particularly in the context of international commercial transactions and it is being applied in almost all type of matters.
