Arbitration refers to the process by which disputes are resolved by submitting them to one or more neutral third parties for a binding decision. Both parties in a conflict agree beforehand to accept the arbitrator’s judgment. The process is typically faster and less formal than court proceedings, making it a popular option for resolving various types of disputes, including contractual issues and labor relations.
