Although relatively little known and practiced in Brazil as a means of settling disputes, arbitration is a technique that uses third parties – either a single arbitrator or three of them – to mediate the dispute presented, based on a private instrument signed by the litigants, usually a contract with a specific clause ordering the settlement of disputes through arbitration, without the intervention of the State (the Courts, for example), the outcome of which is as legally binding as a judicial decision. So we can say that arbitration is an adjudicative form of dispute resolution.
