1- What is Arbitration and how is it different from court litigation?

Arbitration is a private dispute resolution process where parties agree to submit disputes to an arbitrator instead of the court. It is usually faster, more flexible, and confidential compared to traditional litigation.

2- Is an arbitral award enforceable like a court decree?

Yes. Under the Arbitration & Conciliation Act, 1996, an arbitral award is legally binding and enforceable in India as if it were a decree of a civil court.

3- What types of disputes can be resolved through arbitration?

Most commercial and contractual disputes, including real estate, construction, partnership, employment, corporate, and cross-border disputes, can be resolved through arbitration. However, criminal, matrimonial, and certain public policy matters cannot.

4-How long does arbitration take in India?

Typically, arbitration proceedings are completed within 12 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of the case, as compared to years of court litigation.

5-Can a foreign arbitral award be enforced in India?

Yes. India recognizes and enforces foreign arbitral awards under the New York Convention and Geneva Convention, subject to compliance with Indian laws.

6- What is Mediation and Conciliation?

Mediation and Conciliation are voluntary settlement processes where a neutral mediator/conciliator helps parties reach an amicable agreement. Unlike arbitration, the mediator/conciliator does not pass a binding award unless both parties consent.

7- Do I need a lawyer for arbitration or mediation?

While arbitration and mediation are less formal than court, having an experienced lawyer ensures proper representation, drafting of agreements, protection of rights, and enforcement of awards.
