And courts are very wary of changing arbitrators because many of the arbitrators are former judges, Chief Justices,&#8221; she said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"7\"\/> She underscored that the trust of litigants in arbitration proceedings was a must to make them successful and allegations of bias or misconduct could undermine confidence in the system.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/> Speaking at the International Conference on &#8216;Arbitration in the Era of Globalisation&#8217; organised by Indian Council of Arbitration in the national capital, Justice Nagarathna said there had been a discernible shift from traditional modes of dispute resolution towards alternative mechanisms such as mediation and arbitration.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/> &#8220;Disputes are not only about legal questions, but also social, commercial and relational questions that may require more voluntary solutions than a court adjudication. Arbitration and mediation, therefore, are not merely alternatives to litigation, but integral components of a modern and responsive justice system,&#8221; she said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/> Justice Nagarathna said arbitration had emerged as the most preferred method for resolving cross-border commercial disputes because of advantages such as neutral forums, procedural flexibility, confidentiality and party autonomy.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/india\/no-forum-to-deal-with-arbitrators-misdeeds-sc-judge\/articleshow\/130198752.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW DELHI: Supreme Court judge Justice B V Nagarathna on Saturday said that arbitration and&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11058,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[27102,27101,724,27104,27103,723,719,720,721,24929,27105,20358,1282,722],"class_list":["post-11057","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-alternative-dispute-resolution","tag-arbitration","tag-breaking-news","tag-cross-border-commercial-disputes","tag-dispute-resolution","tag-google-news","tag-india","tag-india-news","tag-india-news-today","tag-justice-b-v-nagarathna","tag-litigants-trust-in-arbitration","tag-mediation","tag-supreme-court","tag-today-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11057","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11057"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11057\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/11058"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11057"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11057"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11057"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
