Online Arbitration Dispute

Abstract

The electronic environment has greatly affected the theory of law, prompting major countries to mechanize the judiciary for many years. The United States of America took the lead in this field, and many European countries followed suit. The experiment aimed to achieve maximum benefit from the Internet, by eliminating the paper-based system and the slow pace of litigation, starting with filing the lawsuit and related announcements - where they will be announced electronically on the court's website without the need for the bailiffs’ system - through the documents and memoranda submitted by the litigants, and ending with the final ruling in the dispute. It is natural for electronic development to undermine arbitration substantially, as it is a more liberal system. Hence, new centers were established, and existing centers competed in creating electronic arbitration services. The Space Court, Canada, appeared at the beginning of this century, and the American Arbitration Association joined it in following this system. There is no doubt that the Corona pandemic has confirmed that the electronic arbitration has become an urgent necessity, not only in order to benefit from modern development, but to provide justice steadily and regularly. This article monitors the steps of litigating arbitration via the Internet, starting with creating a website for the case, then submitting the arbitration request according to the forms available on the website, responding to it and the corresponding arbitration requests and responding to them as well, in addition to the following stages of litigation such as determining the seat and language of the electronic arbitration.
