I) What is commercial dispute?
Commercial dispute is a
conflict or a disagreement on
performance of rights and
duties between the parties in
business activivities
II) Methods for Solving Disputes
1. Negotiation
2. Mediation
3. Arbitration
4. Litigation
Negotiation
Negotiation is the most
informal and commonly- used
type of dispute sollution
• have their own interests
• discuss their problems
directly > reach an agreeable
solution
Mediation
a third party -a mediator
resolves by facilitating
negotiation and help find a
mutually agreement
The mediator:
+ neutral
+ has no decision-making
authority, cannot bind the
parties
+ not make a ruling like a judge
or arbitrator
Arbitration
is a more formal process
Have a third person (abitrator):
+) listen to their arguments>
make a decision (final and binding)
for them
+) acts like a judge. However,
more flexibility than a judge in
devising solutions to problems
→ This is a popular method that
businessman choose nowadays
Litigation
is the use of the courts and civil justice system to resolve
legal controversies
+) Involuntary - (no choice)
+) Formal
+) Each party present its evidence and
argument and cross-examine the other side +) Public - court proceedings and records are
open
+) The decision is based on the law, can be
final and binding
+) Losing party may pay costs
Conflict can sometimes cause problems, so it is important to
know how to handle them – outside court. For businessman it is
the best choice that not only insures parties‘s benefit and maitains
business relationship and settling dispute by arbitration can
meet these requires.
III) What makes arbitration a better choice
for resolving business disputes?
1. Speed
2. Choice of the neutral
3. Technical issues
4. Confidentiality
1. Speed
• disputes resolved quickly
• The parties determine the timeframe for the
arbitration, allowing them to bypass delays inherent
in litigation
2. Choice of the neutral
• the opportunity to choose the individuals who will
decide the issues in question
• this freedom allows the parties to customize the
resolution process to suit these issues
3. Technical issues
• Arbitration gives the parties an opportunity to secure
the services of an individual experienced in a
technical area, or a particular business field
• It is for this reason that disputes in the construction
industry and maritime law are often resolved through
arbitration
4. Confidentiality
• In the cases, require a confidential outcome
• because the dispute involves privileged information
or issues of particular sensitivity
