Arbitration has many advantages as a means of dispute resolution, not least that it a consensual process that offers both confidentiality and privacy which Court proceedings do not. The Arbitration Act 1996 emphasises the objectives of fairness, avoiding delay and arbitrating economically.
Arbitration is often seen as a second stage to dispute resolution, after adjudication. However it can be the most effective means of resolving disputes over delays, loss and expense and defects.
