The advantages of arbitration compared to court are usually said to be that the arbitral award cannot be appealed and that there is thus no risk of having to pursue the dispute in several instances. Another advantage is usually said to be that the dispute is resolved confidentially (outsiders do not have the right to attend the proceedings as otherwise is the case in court). A third advantage is usually said to be that the parties have influence on which persons are to be appointed as arbitrators (depending on what the parties have agreed). An additional advantage that is usually highlighted is that arbitration is faster than in court. How long an arbitration procedure takes differs from case to case, but it is clear that if the parties are willing to get a quick solution, it is usually possible to arrange. However, it sometimes happens that one party in different ways, for procedural strategic reasons, tries to delay the arbitration and for fear of challenge, the arbitrators sometimes find that they cannot act for a speedy process in the absence of consensus on these issues between the parties.
