INTRODUCTION
Arbitration may be defined as a “ mechanism for the resolution of disputes which take
place usually pursuant to an agreement between two or more parties, under which
parties agree to be bound by the decision to be given by the arbitrator according to the
law or , if so agreed, other considerations, after a fair hearing such a decision being
enforceable”.

Settlement of a dispute (whether of fact, law, or procedure) between parties to a

contract by a neutral third party (the arbitrator) without resorting to court action.
Arbitration is usually voluntary but sometimes it is required by law. If both sides agree
to be bound by the arbitrator's decision (the 'award') it becomes a binding arbitration.
The exact procedure to be followed (if not included in the contract under dispute) is
governed usually by a country's arbitration laws, or by the arbitration rules prescribed
by the International Chamber Of Commerce (ICC).

MEANING:
According to Byrne’s law dictionary the term “arbitration” includes practically every
question, which might be determined by a civil action, referred to arbitration. Thus
under the English law, arbitration means the settlement of disputes by the decisions
one or more persons called arbitrators. As Russel rightly pointed out, “ the essence of
awardarbitration is that some dispute is referred by the parties for settlement to a
tribunal of their own choice instead of to a court”.

A method of alternative dispute resolution in which the disputing parties agree to

abide by the decision of an arbitrator(s).

The submission of a dispute to an impartial third person or persons. The arbitrator or

arbitrators are selected directly by the parties or are chosen in accordance with the
terms of a contract in which the parties have agreed to use a court-ordered arbitrator or
an arbitrator from the American Arbitration Association. If there is no contract,
usually each party chooses an arbitrator and the two arbitrators select a third. When
parties submit to arbitration, they agree to be bound by and comply with the
arbitrators' decision. The arbitrators' decision is given after an informal proceeding
where each side presents evidence and witnesses.

Some arbitration proceedings are mandatory (enforced by statute), such as many labor
disputes. Other arbitration proceedings are selected in advance and written into
contracts. In fact, many couples who sign cohabitation agreements or divorce
agreements include a clause agreeing to go to arbitration if any dispute should arise,
thereby avoiding the delay, expense, bitterness and formality of litigation. Other
arbitration proceedings are chosen by the disputing parties after the conflict arises, but
are also to avoid the delay, expense, bitterness and formality of courts.

Definition of an unpaid seller1:-

“Arbitration” means any arbitration whether or not administered by permanent arbitral
institution the word “Arbitration” as defined in the present act connotes the same
meaning as contained in article 2(a) of the model law of UNCITRAL.
