What laws govern arbitration in the U.S.? The law that governs arbitration in the U.S is The Federal Arbitration Act. In an arbitration contractual agreement the parties have agreed to use arbitrator or arbitration panel as opposed to a judgment entered by a court of law, so they are also giving up the right to appeal. When there is an award is entered by an arbitration or arbitration panel, it must be confirmed in a court of law. It must be confirmed within one year, while any objection to an award must be challenged by losing party within three months (“What laws goven”, 2015).
What laws govern arbitration in Russia? The law that governs arbitration in Russia is The Federal Law on International Commercial Arbitration. The law sets out a provision as to the written form of the arbitration agreement. Exchange of e-mails, faxes, letters and other means of communication can qualify that there is an arbitrational agreement even without any written document. When drafting an arbitration agreement make sure the basics are correct, examples would be name of arbitration institute, or reference to exact set of procedural rules. This could be cause of not having an arbitration heard (“Arbitration in Russia”, 2015).
In your opinion, in which country should the dispute be handled? This dispute between Monarch Associates and Vladir Unlimited should be handled in Russia. Because this agreement was signed by both parties and agreed upon that all legal and nonlegal disputes be arbitrated in Russia.
What are the advantages and disadvantages for Monarch Associates under the arbitration arrangement?
Upon research I found eight advantages of having arbitration arrangement
1 - Impartiality of decision maker – This is where they have a neutral, unbiased party or parties decide the matter.
2 - Enforceability of arbitral awards – Arbitral awards are final and can only be challenged

    CASE DESCRIPTION The primary subject matter of this case concerns the management of international joint ventures. Secondary issues examined include: business in Russia; government’s intervention in business and how it affects multinational companies; market entry and modes of market entry decisions;; and dimensions and elements of culture (Fang 2003). The case has a difficulty level appropriate for first or second year graduate level. The case is designed to be taught in one class hour and is expected to require one hour of outside preparation by students. CASE SYNOPSIS BP, one of the largest publicly listed oil companies in the world, had been operating in Russia since 1997, initially through minority stakes in Russian oil companies and, since 2003, through TNK-BP, a 50-50 joint venture with AAR, a consortium of Russian investors. This joint venture allowed BP access to extensive oil reserves in Russia and was one of BP’s most valuable assets, accounting for 25% of BP’s production in 2007. In 2008, BP and its partners in TNK-BP encountered serious disagreements about how to run the company. A string of government actions including raids by the Russian tax police on both BP and TNK-BP’s offices in Russia concluded with the cancelation of TNK-BP’s British CEO’s work visa by Russian immigration authorities. Although BP and its partners reached an agreement in principle to renew the board of TNK-BP and appoint a new CEO in December 2008, by February 2009 they had not been able to appoint a Chief Executive acceptable to both parties. INTRODUCTION In May 2009 TNK-BP, a 50-50 joint venture between BP, one of the major western oil companies, and Alfa Access/Renova, a…

    In the event that the dispute is not settled during mediation, an arbitration clause will follow. If the dispute cannot be settled within 48 hours after the mediator has been appointed, the dispute will be referred and resolved through arbitration. This clause will be enforced for members who denied mediation and members who were unable to reach an agreement during mediation. The mediator will not be allowed to serve as the arbitrator in arbitration, due to possible bias being present because of intimate information received during mediation. The role of arbitrator will be appointed by all team members, excluding persons with previous or current involvement in the dispute. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding. In the event that a member fails to proceed with arbitration, challenges the…

    1. The judge should let the arbitration proceed as Mr Groetsch has the right to pursue any action that he believes is necessary to advance his claim. Class action suits normally take longer to prosecute because attorneys want to find and represent as many claimants as possible. Attorneys handling the litigation receive a substantial fee from the compensation settlement whereas the cost of arbitration is minimal. Litigation also requires court fees as well as attorney costs while arbitration may only require the cost of a personal attorney and the fee for the arbitrator. Class action lawsuits are argued in a court of law and may require an extensive amount of time to present evidence and testimony. Arbitration, however, is conducted privately between the two parties and an arbitrator. (All Business 2012 ). The process is more informal and limited evidence is presented. The process can begin as soon as an arbitrator is selected and may only require a short time for resolution. Mr Groetsch may receive a bigger award from his arbitration than the members of the class action suit and his award may set a precedent for the pending litigation giving attorneys addition evidence for their case. The fact that the others may only receive 10 cents on the dollar is irrelevant since they chose to pursue litigation rather than arbitration.…

    The Federal Arbitration Act states that arbitration arrangements or agreements concerning commerce are valid, applicable, irrevocable, irreversible and enforceable contracts, unless some grounds are present at law or equity (e.g., fraud, duress) to revoke them. (Cheeseman, 2013, p. 74) This means that arbitration contacts are legally binding as long as they are fair and nobody was physically forced to sign it. The FFA authorizes one party to acquire a court order to coerce arbitration if the other party has failed or declined to act in accordance with an arbitration agreement. (Cheeseman, 2013, p. 74) Basically, Capital had every right to file for a motion to compel or force the consumers to abide by the arbitration agreement. The court would have to decide whether there is fraud present in the case or if one of the parties were under duress at the time the agreement was signed. The court would also have to ensure the fairness of the arbitration agreement to ensure it was not one sided. If none of those elements were present then there would not be a case against voiding the arbitration agreement and both parties would be sent to an arbitrator to settle their disputes. This would mean that the consumer would not be allowed to proceed with their lawsuit in state court.…

    Arbitration is a simplified version of a trial involving limited discovery and simplified rules of evidence. The arbitration is headed and decided by an arbitral panel. To comprise a panel, either both sides agree on one arbitrator, or each side selects one arbitrator and the two arbitrators elect the third. Arbitration hearings usually last between a few days to a week, and the panel only meets for a few hours per day. The panel then deliberates and issues a written decision, or arbitral award. Opinions are not public record. Arbitration has long been used in labor, construction, and securities…

    The court’s power to determine enforceability of arbitration clauses in agreements is a threshold to be decided by the court unless the parties clearly and unmistakably provide otherwise. The trial court found that the arbitration agreement was not included in the terms of any contract between the homebuyers and the builder, and that there was no evidence that the arbitration agreement was a negotiable term and appeared to be a contract adhesion (Baker v., 2013). The court found substantive unconscionably because it would be very unlikely for the builder to sue the…

    In general, U.S. courts have long favored enforcement of arbitration awards. As the Second Circuit noted in Diapulse Corp. of America v. Carba, Ltd. 37 a case decided under the Federal Arbitration Act, [t]he purpose of arbitration is to permit a relatively quick and inexpensive resolution of contractual disputes by avoiding the expense and delay of extended court proceedings.... Accordingly, it is a well-settled proposition that judicial review of an arbitration award should be, and is, very narrowly limited. 38 As another court has expressed this view, "[lt is not the function of a district court to review the record of an arbitration proceeding for mere errors of law or fact."'39 These public policy concerns apply with even greater strength…

    Over the last few decades, as the trade, commerce and investment has developed and evolved in an international aspect throughout the world, the necessity of an alternative resolution for the disputes arising between the parties involved in international business has occurred. From that necessity, international arbitration has emerged as a remedy, which is a method for dispute resolution between states, individuals and corporations providing an effective way of obtaining a final and binding decision on a dispute without reference to a court of law. With this, the controversial question regarding the advantages and disadvantages of arbitration over litigation has occurred by also bringing along two different perspectives as to the issue in question.…

    MAPPING THE FUTURE OF COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION IN INDIA The last three years have witnessed dynamic shifts in the law and practice of Arbitration in India. While there have been steps in the right direction, an unwieldy system continues to weigh down practitioners. Four years after first delving into the nuances of commercial arbitration in India, the NLSIR Symposium (now in its sixth edition) hopes to assess the development of Arbitration Law over the last few years. Day One focuses on the judiciary and its reading of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. Day Two focuses on the structural changes needed in the Indian system, for dealing with matters under the 1996 Act as well as under Bilateral Investment Treaties. Session I: The Implications of BALCO on Arbitration Practice On the 6th of September 2012, the Supreme Court delivered its much-awaited verdict in Bharat Aluminium v. Kaiser Aluminium. The decision was widely lauded and, in the eyes of most commentators, set right the perceived wrongs of Bhatia International and Venture Global. However, the impact of this decision is yet to be discussed in detail. The first session of the Symposium focuses on four specific questions arising out of the judgment. First, it may be observed that Justice Nijjar’s opinion looks beyond merely a harmonious construction of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The Court deemed it “necessary to analyse the text of the Arbitration Act, 1996 with reference to its legislative history and international conventions”. Consequently, the Court notes the Act’s moorings in the UNCITRAL Model Law and the principle of territoriality embedded therein. Interestingly, the text of s. 28 and s. 45 of the Act both seem to suggest that the territorial basis of the Act may not be absolute. Was the Supreme Court’s decision justified in light of the text of the statute? Second, the Court veered away from treating s. 9 as sui generis. The primary impact of such a move…
