Arbitration is the submission of a dispute to one or more impartial persons for a final and binding decision. There is less control, unlike mediation, where parties keep control. Enforceability is important.
Awards are the decisions of arbitrators.
Awards are made in writing and are enforceable in court under the state and federal statutes in the United States of America. So far there are 171 signatory nations or territories where WebCourt final awards are enforceable. Enforcement actions, when necessary, must brought by the parties after the arbitration, if not paid, as they must be brought pursuant to any courthouse judgment. It is the practice of WebCourt to ask counsel for the parties in its international proceedings to submit draft forms of award which are preferred, sensitive to any local features which may affect enforcement. The Cook Islands is NOT a party to ANY of the numerous conventions on enforcement and recognition of foreign judgments or foreign arbitral awards, nor to any of the treaties which provide for service, discovery and examination of witnesses.
