Arbitration processes can be as simple or as complicated as the parties want. The basic arbitration process I've just described looks and feels very much like the process that applies in court. However, it isn't always necessary to have a witness who gives oral evidence, or to have any evidence at all. It isn't always necessary to have oral arguments. Sometimes written arguments alone will do. And, if the parties agree, awards can provide a summary explanation of the arbitrator's decision rather than a full explanation. | Arbitration processes can be as simple or as complicated as the parties want.
