ADR Chambers offers the services of its retired Court of Appeal and Superior Court Judges to preside over arbitrations. Several senior counsel are also available. As such, our group offers years of judicial and legal experience which is beneficial to parties in dispute. We also offer the services of other experts such as engineers, accountants, retired insurance executives, architects, professors of law and others who are available to sit as nominees to an arbitral panel to add their expertise to matters within their professional discipline.
Arbitrations are known to be expeditious and cost-effective. A matter which might take a month at trial, can be reduced to two weeks or less in arbitration.
The proceedings are private and confidential.
In arbitral proceedings, the parties have control over many aspects of the proceedings. They may select the arbitrator or the arbitral panel. They may agree on the commencement date for the arbitration and other matters as to procedure, subject to provisions of any applicable Arbitration Act or institutional rules.
ARBITRATION RULES and ARBITRATION AGREEMENTS: The arbitration rules of ADR Chambers and any amendments thereto shall be deemed to have been made a part of any Arbitration Agreement which provides for arbitratrion by ADR Chambers and any arbitration which takes place with ADR Chambers. See the Arbitration Rules of ADR Chambers and in particular Rule 2 and the subparagraphs thereto.
PRE-ARBITRATION MEETING: Before proceeding to arbitration, the parties will be asked to participate in a pre-arbitration meeting with the arbitrator or chair of the arbitral panel to deal with the issues in dispute and other procedural matters. An arbitration agreement will be prepared and executed by the parties prior to the commencement of the arbitration.
PRIVATE APPEAL: If the parties mutually agree to preserve a right of appeal from the Arbitral Award, then ADR Chambers offers a private and binding appeal before three of its retired appellate Judges. The parties will be asked to outline the appeal provisions in the arbitration agreement. This way, parties may proceed to a Final, Binding and Private Appeal within a matter of a month or so, following the delivery of the initial Arbitral Award. See Private Appeal Services for more details.
