Abstract

English Abstract: The arbitration landscape has changed significantly over the last few years. Fault lines have emerged, including the rising cost of arbitrations, the length of time taken to conclude arbitrations, the concerns over the true impartiality of arbitrators, the dissatisfaction with an unregulated industry, and the growing disconnect with end-users. Focusing on the Singapore experience, this article raises some limitations to arbitration, and in doing so engenders discussion as to how these limitations can be overcome.

French Abstract: Le domaine de l’arbitrage a grandement évolué au courant des dernières années. Corolairement, de nombreux défauts ont été mis en évidence. L’augmentation croissante des frais, la durée des procédures, l’indépendance des arbitres, le manque de réglementation et la déconnexion avec ses utilisateurs, n’en sont que quelques illustrations. En se concentrant sur l’expérience vécue à Singapour, cet article se penche sur les limites de l’arbitrage afin de proposer des solutions potentielles.

Keywords: arbitration, cost of arbitration, length of arbitration, Singapore
