Seated arbitration

Seated arbitration refers to a dispute resolution process where an impartial third party, known as an arbitrator, is appointed to resolve conflicts between two or more parties outside of court. In this setting, the arbitrator listens to the evidence and arguments presented by each side, and then makes a binding decision. Unlike traditional court settings, arbitration is usually quicker, more flexible, and can be less formal. Seated arbitration often takes place in a designated location, emphasizing a structured approach to resolving disputes while maintaining confidentiality and minimizing public exposure.
