Arbitration has recently found preference for parties wishing to have their dispute resolved in a thorough and resolute manner. Previously Arbitration had been seen as a lengthy and expensive method of Dispute resolution, but since the 1996 statutory revisions the parties have more say in the process. This means that stricter time timetables and greater cost control can be introduced.
A well managed Arbitration can be as cost effective as an Adjudication, the advantage being that the Arbitration award is final, whereas many disputes submitted as Adjudications end up in Arbitration or Litigation.
