Common questions
Should a dispute go to arbitration or to court?
Arbitration is private, lets the parties choose the arbitrator, and produces awards enforceable in most countries under the New York Convention, but there is no appeal on the merits and it is not automatically cheaper. Court is public, the judge is assigned, and appeals are possible. Often the contract decides which applies.

The Rules of Court 2021 require parties to consider resolving the dispute amicably before and during proceedings, and to make an offer of amicable resolution before suing unless there are good reasons not to. The court can order parties to try mediation, and refusing without good reason can affect the costs you recover or pay.
