Synopsis
An arbitrator has a duty to conduct the arbitration in a fair, expeditious, and economical manner to achieve a final resolution of the dispute. To do this an arbitrator must have an effective case management system.
An effective case management system is essential for ensuring an efficient, cost-effective, impartial, and fair arbitration process. It helps to minimise delays, reduce costs, promote clarity and consistency, and ensure compliance with legal and procedural requirements.
Often arbitrators face a range of problems when dealing with case management conflicts. These can include:
- Efficient use of time
- Clarity and consistency
- Cost-effectiveness
- Impartiality and Fairness
- Procedural Compliance
- Cooperation from parties and counsel
- Legal and procedural complexities
- Ethical considerations
- Communications Issues
- Guerrilla tactics and due process paranoia
This is not an exhaustive list of case management conflicts that arbitrators may face.
This workshop is intended to help arbitrators deal with some of these conflicts in managing their arbitrations. It is particularly helpful for architects who are new to arbitrations and particularly for architects who aspire to be arbitrators to learn about good and effective case management.
