Definition: Arbitration is a procedure for the resolution of disputes on a private basis through the appointment of an arbitrator, an independent, neutral third person who hears and considers the merits of the dispute and renders a final and binding decision called award. Arbitration is a proceeding in which a dispute is resolved by an impartial adjudicator whose decision the parties to the dispute have agreed, or legislation has decreed, will be final and binding. II. Types of arbitration: There are two types of arbitration: Voluntary arbitration and compulsory arbitration 1. Voluntary arbitration is a binding, adversarial dispute resolution process in which the disputing parties choose one or more arbitrators to hear their dispute and to render a final decision or award after an expedited hearing. Voluntary arbitration implies that the two contending parties, unable to compromise their differences by themselves or with the help of mediator or conciliator, agree to submit the conflict/ dispute to an impartial authority, whose decisions they are ready to accept. 2. Compulsory arbitration is a non-binding, adversarial dispute resolution process in which one or more arbitrators hear arguments, weigh evidence and issue a non- binding judgment on the merits after an expedited hearing. The arbitrator' s decision addresses only the disputed legal issues and applies legal standards. Compulsory arbitration is one where the parties are required to accept arbitration without any willingness on their party. III. The benefits of arbitration: 3 It is often necessary to resolve business conflicts in a definitive and enforceable manner. Many people assume that the court system is the only option, or the best option, for resolving these disputes. However, arbitration offers parties another way to resolve disputes that is often less expensive, faster and legally enforceable. Arbitration provides several important benefits for participants. It is typically: less formal, less expensive, less time consuming. IV. The future of arbitration: Brick and mortar arbitration has been the predominate form of arbitration used by businesses since its inception. Now with the lower cost, greater convenience, and accessibility of online arbitration, individuals and small businesses have the opportunity to take advantage of its benefits over litigation. Recently, both public and private institutions have been moving towards providing online platforms to resolve small-claims disputes via arbitration. There are several private companies that offer online arbitration services. Many have lawyers or former lawyers conduct the arbitration. These companies are eQuibbly, Modria, NetArb, Cybersettle, and Smart Settle. eQuibbly is currently the only company in North America that has former trial judges arbitrate disputes entirely online. V. Translation: Resolution in a neutral forum -> Xét xử tại một nơi trung lập Arbitration settles international commercial cases, says Jeremy Winter  Việc phân xử bằng trọng tài giải quyết những tranh chấp thương mại quốc tế - Jeremy Winter 4 You have been in a conference room in your lawyer’s office for the whole day, negotiating a crucial international contract. Term by term, detail by detail, the lawyers have argued it out. Someone says: “ What are we going to put in for dispute resolu- tion?”. When you started the negotiations you thought that the deal was a certain money-spinner for both parties, so no disputes could arise. Now you are not so sure. So what do you say?. What do your lawyers advise? Ideally, you might want to be able to have recourse to the courts in your own country, the other party would probably like to do the same in its home country. Neither is acceptable to the other, for fear of home-team advantage or even local basis. The answer is to opt for arbitration. This is not really a difficult decision, and that is why arbitration is the recognised way of resolving international commercial disputes.  Trọn một ngày ở văn phòng luật sư để bàn về một hợp đồng rất quan trọng. Các luật sư đã tranh luận từng điều khoản, từng chi tiết. Một người nói: " Những gì sẽ được đưa vào để giải quyết tranh chấp?". Khi bắt đầu đàm phán bạn nghĩ rằng việc thỏa thuận chắc chắn mang lại lợi ích cho cả hai bên, để không xảy ra tranh chấp. Bây giờ bạn không chắc nữa. Bạn sẽ nói gì đây? Các luật sư sẽ tư vấn những gì? Một cách hợp lý, bạn sẽ đưa sự việc ra tòa án trong nước, phía bên kia có lẽ cũng sẽ làm như vậy tại nước của họ. Không ai nhường ai, vì sợ lợi thế sân nhà cũng như những thiên vị. Giải pháp là nhờ trọng tài phân xử. Không quá khó để ra quyết định và đó là lý do trọng tài được công nhận là cách giải quyết tranh chấp thương mại quốc tế. For at least a century, it has been the dominant force in dispute resolution in areas such as shipping, commodities and construction. you can opt for a neutral forum and have a panel of three arbitrators, one chosen by each party, and the third (the chairman) chosen either by the parties or the two party-appointed arbitrators. In addition, you can keep you disputes away from the public eye, because arbitration takes place in private, unlike litigation in the court. The main centres for international arbitration are: Paris, London, Geneva, Stockholm, New York, Hong Kong and Singapore. Which is used depends on the background and businesses of the parties. Stockholm, for example, was always the place for arbitrating east-west trade disputes, London for shipping and commodities. Singapore looks set for a busy time 5 in the coming months and years after the Asian financial crisis. These locations, and the arbitration centres and lawyers working there, compete intensely. Arbitration bodies try hard to get their standard arbitration clause put into people's contracts, so they have a captive market once disputes arise. They do this by publicising their activities and their rules.  Trong ít nhất một thể kỷ, phân xử bằng trọng tài là hình thức thống lĩnh trong việc giải quyết tranh chấp hàng hải, thương mại và xây dựng. Bạn có thể chọn một nơi xét xử trung lập với hội đồng trọng tài gồm 3 trọng tài viên, mỗi bên tranh chấp chọn cho mình một trọng tài và một trong hai bên sẽ chọn trọng tài thứ ba (người chủ trì phân xử) hoặc người chủ trì sẽ được chọn trong hội đồng trọng tài do hai bên chỉ định. Thêm vào đó, nội dung tranh chấp sẽ được giữ kín vì việc phân xử diễn ra kín đáo, không như việc tố tụng tại tòa án. Những trung tâm trọng tài quốc tế thường đặt tại: Pairs, London, Geneva, Stockholm, New York, Hong Kong và Singapore. Lựa chọn trung tâm nào là tùy vào tính chất ngành nghề kinh doanh của các bên tranh chấp. Chẳng hạn như Stockholm luôn là nơi phân xử tranh chấp thương mại giữa những nước Châu Á và những nước Phương Tây, London thì chuyên về những tranh chấp trong hàng hải và mua bán hàng hóa. Singapore có vẻ như đã sẵn sàng cho một mùa bận rộn sau cuộc khủng hoảng tài chính Châu Á. Các quốc gia, trung tâm trọng tài cũng như những luật sư đang làm việc tại đó phải cạnh tranh khốc liệt. Ủy ban trọng tài cố gắng hết sức để điều khoản chuẩn của họ được đưa vào hợp đồng giao dịch, vì thế họ luôn bám sát ngay từ khi mâu thuẫn phát sinh. Họ thực hiện điều này bằng cách thông tin cho công chúng biết những hoạt động và luật lệ của mình. What they are looking for is "name recognition", In Europe, Paris (home of the International Chamber of Commerce and its rules) probably has the best name recognition, followed by London (home of the London Court of International Arbitration), and Geneva. What people look for in an arbitration is speed, cost effectiveness, confidentiality and reliability of arbitrators and hence their decisions. The choice of venue involves a so complex balancing of a number of factors: 6 * The availability of good experienced arbitrators * The availability of good experienced arbitration lawyers,and expert witnesses such as accountants and engineers * The cost of these people * The support or otherwise that the local legal system gives to arbitration. (For example, if the arbitration gets bogged down as a result of delaying tactics by one party, what powers does the arbitrators, or court, have to speed things up? Will the courts readily interfere or overturn arbitrators' decisions?) * Accessibility - basic things like flight access, good facilities (some of the best are now in the Gulf States), administrative back-up,good telecommunications, IT support and even climate. National legislation also has to lend its support to such an important economic activity as arbitration. England has taken steps to improve English arbitration law in no the form of the Arbitration Act 1996, which came into force at the beginning of 1997. Những gì họ cần là "tên tuổi". Ở Châu Âu, Paris ( Nơi tọa lạc của Phòng Thương Mại Quốc Tế và những đạo luật của nó), có lẽ là nơi đứng đầu, kế đến là Luân Đôn (quê hương của Tòa Án Trọng Tài Quốc Tế Luân Đôn) và sau nữa là Geneva. Những điều người ta trông đợi đối với việc phân xử bằng trọng tài là nhanh chóng, chi phí hợp lý, sự bảo mật và sự đáng tin cậy của những trọng tài và những quyết định của họ. Việc lựa chọn nơi giải quyết tranh chấp phụ thuộc sự cân nhắc các yếu tố sau đây: * Trọng tài giàu kinh nghiệm * Luật sư giàu kinh nghiệm và chuyên gia tư vấn chuyên ngành như tài chính, kỹ thuật * Chi phí cho hội đồng xét xử * Cơ chế hỗ trợ của hệ thống pháp lý sở tại đối với việc phân xử bằng trọng tài (Nếu việc phân xử thất bại do chiến thuật trì hoãn của một bên, trọng tài hay tòa án sẽ xử lý như thế nào để đẩy nhanh tiến độ? Liệu tòa án có sẵn sàng can thiệp hay lật ngược những quyết định của trọng tài?) 7 * Khả năng tiếp cận - những vấn đề thiết yếu như đăng ký chuyến bay, những tiện nghi( các nước vùng Vịnh là một trong số những nơi tốt nhất hiện nay), hệ thống hành chính, viễn thông, công nghệ thông tin, thậm chí là khí hậu. Việc xây dựng khung pháp lý của các nước phải đặt ra những hỗ trợ cho hoạt động kinh tế quan trọng như việc phân xử bằng trọng tài. Nước Anh đang từng bước cải thiện luật xét xử bằng trọng tài trong tất cả điều luật của Đạo luật 1996, có hiệu lực từ năm 1997. Reading comprehension tasks A.
