THE ROLE OF ELECTRONIC ARBITRATION IN RESOLVING DISPUTES ON THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INTERNATIONAL SPHERE

Due to the inability of ordinary courts to keep pace with the rapid development in information technology and their failure to provide swift methods for resolving electronic transaction disputes, there has been an urgent need to seek more effective means to settle these disputes. As a result, there has been a move towards adopting electronic arbitration. However, there has been disagreement in the legal field regarding the definition of this type of arbitration on one hand, and on the other hand, the debate surrounding its legal nature. Although electronic arbitration is more effective and quicker in resolving disputes compared to ordinary courts, its practical application faces many obstacles and challenges. Additionally, there are both advantages and disadvantages to implementing this type of arbitration, which we have addressed in our research. We divided the study into three sections: the first discusses the nature and legal characteristics of electronic arbitration; the second focuses on electronic arbitration agreements; and the third identifies the advantages, disadvantages, and obstacles of electronic arbitration. We concluded our research with a conclusion outlining the most important findings and recommendations we reached.
