How Litigation Is Different From Arbitration?
Arbitration is one form of what is commonly known as “Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)”. It’s a process where both sides come together and agree to follow and respect the decision of the arbitrator. Arbitration is always civil in nature.
The main difference between arbitration and litigation law is that court is involved in the case of litigation, as it is a lawsuit, whereas, in arbitration, a settlement between the parties is done outside of court.
