A Bill poses a threat to quality assurance in arbitrations in Peru
Melissa Núñez and Hugo Forno
Arbitration is viewed as being greatly effective for both domestic and disputes with an international component. This positive light is achieved from characteristics including the arbitrators’ level of specialist knowledge and reliability, the speed of the proceeding (in comparison with the length of litigation through the ordinary courts) together with its flexibility (adaptation of the procedure to the needs presented by every individual case), and the final nature of the rendered decision.
