ARBITRATION DEFINED
The jurisdiction of the tribunal to decide therights of the parties must derive either from theconsent of the parties or from an order of the
court or from a statute, the terms of which makeit clear that the process is to be an arbitration.
The agreement must contemplate that thesubstantive rights of the parties will bedetermined by the agreed tribunal.

The tribunal will determine the rights of the
parties in an impartial and judicial manner withthe tribunal owing an equal obligation offairness towards both sides.
The agreement of the parties to refer theirdisputes to the decision of the tribunal must beintended to be enforceable in law.

The great advantage of arbitration is that itcombines strength with flexibility. Strength becauseit yields enforceable decisions, and is backed by ajudicial framework which, in the last resort, cancall upon the coercive powers of the state. Flexible
because it allows the contestants to choose
procedures which fit the nature of the dispute andthe business context in which it occurs. A system oflaw which comes anywhere close to achieving theseaims is likely to be intellectually difficult and hard
to pin down in practical terms.
Lord Mustill in his Foreword to D MarkCato, Arbitration Practice and Procedure,2nd Edition, 1997, LLP made the point for
arbitration
