Frequently Asked Questions
Which procedure does the arbitration follow?
The arbitration process involves the submission of claims by the involved parties, followed by an exchange of relevant documents and evidence, hearings with arguments and evidence, the submission of final pleadings, and the issuance of the arbitral award.
What happens if one of the parties does not comply with the arbitral award?
The arbitral award is legally binding and enforceable, so if a party does not voluntarily comply with the arbitral award, the prevailing party may initiate legal proceedings to enforce the award.
What is the difference between ad hoc and institutional arbitration?
Ad hoc arbitration is conducted without the supervision of an arbitration institution, whereas in institutional arbitration, we have an administrative institution that oversees and administers the process according to established rules and procedures.
