The Critical Importance of Clear Arbitration Clauses in Contracts
A recent ruling in Kajima Construction Europe (UK) Ltd v Children’s Ark Partnership Ltd highlights the significant risks businesses face when arbitration clauses are unclear or poorly drafted. In this case, the court determined that the dispute resolution provision in question did not constitute a valid arbitration agreement. This serves as a stark reminder of how ambiguity in drafting can lead to costly litigation, defeating the purpose of arbitration as an efficient dispute resolution method.
The Importance of an Arbitration Clause in Commercial Contracts
Including an arbitration clause in your contracts is a proactive step toward efficient dispute resolution. With The Private Arbitration Court and its Artemis platform, you can approach arbitration with confidence, knowing that your disputes will be resolved professionally and efficiently.
