Fast Track Arbitration
Here parties are allowed to ask the arbitral tribunal to resolve disputes within a specified period, typically 3-6 months or an agreed-upon timeframe before the arbitration formally begins. In fast track arbitration, arbitrators must make decisions based on written submissions, foregoing oral hearings. This approach instills confidence in foreign investors seeking swift resolution, minimizing hearings and ultimately reducing significant costs—an overarching goal of arbitration.
