What is arbitration
Arbitration is one of the alternative methods of dispute resolution, which allows entrepreneurs to settle a dispute without submitting it to the assessment of a common court.
The conclusion of an appropriate arbitration clause (arbitration clause) in an agreement between entrepreneurs results in – in the event of a dispute arising from the implementation of this agreement – consideration of the case by arbitration court (arbitration court) without proceeding before a common court. A judgment issued in arbitration proceedings has the same weight as a judgment of a common court.
