Introduction:
Arbitration has evolved over the years to be one of the most preferred mechanisms for resolving disputes between parties, especially in the areas of international business. It is a method of alternative dispute resolution for the settlement of disputes where a final decision is taken by an impartial third party. In case of any dispute, there is significant time spent negotiating, choosing and drafting arbitration agreements to facilitating an efficient arbitral process and adjudication. In general, arbitration is a voluntary and cooperative mechanism and it is very important to take into account all the main factors that usually affect the arbitration process. In this respect, the choice of the seat of arbitration is one of the main factors underlying any arbitral agreement. Parties to the arbitration can arrive at a consensus towards the seat of arbitration at any point in time.
