Judicial arbitration
Judicial arbitration is a legal process where a neutral third party, known as an arbitrator, helps resolve disputes outside of the traditional court system. Both parties agree to present their case to the arbitrator, who listens to the evidence and makes a binding decision, similar to a judge's ruling. This process can be quicker and less formal than going to court, making it a popular choice for settling disputes in areas like commercial contracts or family matters. It aims to provide a fair resolution while saving time and legal costs for both sides.
