A private process where a neutral third party hears both sides of a dispute and makes a binding decision.
Arbitration is a private dispute resolution method in which parties present their case to one or more neutral arbitrators who render a binding decision. It is faster and less expensive than litigation and is a common dispute resolution mechanism in AIA and other construction contracts. Arbitration awards are enforceable in court and typically are final with limited appeal rights.
