Arbitration is a private means of dispute resolution whereby parties agree to be bound by the decision of an arbitrator of their choice whose decision is final and whose award has the legal force of a High Court judgment or order. Arbitration is a widely used alternative to litigation before the Courts. The use of arbitration is on the increase, and new legislation, the Arbitration Act, 2010, was introduced in 2010 to make Ireland a world leader in the field of arbitration. The principal advantages of arbitration over other forms of dispute resolution are privacy; flexibility of procedure; the ability to use arbitrators who are experts in the field of dispute; cost-effectiveness; and enforceability of the award both domestically and internationally. This micro-credential focuses on the law and practice of domestic arbitration. It covers the arbitration agreement, the arbitrator, the arbitral process, the award, recourse against the award, and enforcement of the award. On completion of this micro-credential you will have completed the syllabus of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators' Module 2 Law of Arbitration and the written components of the Institute's Module 3: Practice, Procedure, Drafting and Deciding.
