What Are Advantages Resolving Disputes by Commercial Arbitration?


Commercial arbitration is a method of settling disputes selected by the parties and conducted in accordance with law. Compared with other method of dispute resolution such as mediation, negotiation, court litigation, dispute resolution by commercial arbitration also has advantages and disadvantages.
In accordance with Vietnamese law and international law, the method of dispute resolution by commercial arbitration also stems from the agreement of the parties on a voluntary basis. However, the difference between these methods is that the settlement of disputes through arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Law. The parties are allowed to agree on appropriate arbitration selection, either before or after the dispute arises.
The practice of applying commercial arbitration law in resolving disputes presents some advantages:
Firstly, this is a method of resolving disputes on the principle of confidientiality if the parties do not agree otherwise. This is an advantage that all claimants respect because it limits the disclosure of business secrets, and keeps the credibility of the parties.
Secondly, the decision of the arbitrator is final, binding on the parties and the right to appeal in this case is invalid. The trial at Commercial Arbitration takes place only at one trial level, which the trial at the Court is at two levels. Therefore, it creates a premise for the following advantages.
Thirdly, the settlement of disputes arising through commercial arbitration shows flexibility while shortening the proceedings thereby contributing to saving time and effort of the parties.
Fourthly, the settlement of disputes by arbitration is not territorially limited so the parties may agree to choose any arbitrator to resolve their disputes.
However, the competing parties also need to pay attention that the choice of arbitration method also reveals some disadvantages such as: The enforcement of arbitral awards depends heavily on the willingness of the parties to the dispute. If the party who is serving the judgment does not voluntarily follow the arbitral awards and does not request to cancel the arbitral award after the expiration of the time limit for enforcing the arbitral award, the judgment-executing party may send a written request to the civil judgment enforcement agency for judgment execution.
In addition, one of the disputing parties may submit a request to the Court to cancel the arbitration award when encountering one of these following conditions: (i) There is no arbitration agreement or the arbitration agreement is invalid; (ii) The arbitration council’s composition or procedures of arbitral proceedings does not comply with the parties’ agreement or regulations; (iii) The dispute falls beyond the arbitration council’s jurisdiction: when an arbitral award contains the details falling beyond the arbitration council’s jurisdiction, such details shall be cancelled; (iv) The evidence provided by the parties on which the arbitration council bases to issue the award is counterfeit: an arbitrator receives money, assets or other material benefits from one disputing party, thus affecting the objectivity and impartiality of the award; (v) The award contravenes the fundamental principles of Vietnamese law.
Finally, when the parties choose to resolve their disputes by arbitration method, the costs are relatively higher than in the proceeding of court litigation.
