Confidentiality in arbitration

Confidentiality in arbitration means that the details of the dispute, including the evidence and the decision, are kept private and not shared publicly. This privacy helps parties feel secure that sensitive information won't be exposed, unlike in court cases which are usually public. It encourages open communication and honest negotiations during the process. However, confidentiality isn’t always absolute—it may have limits, especially if required by law or for enforcement purposes. Overall, it provides parties with a private, secure environment to resolve disputes efficiently and discreetly.
