Abstract

The rapid expansion of commercial transactions and globalization has given rise to spiraling growth in arbitration at the national as well as international stages. Arbitration is one of the modern techniques of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) that has gained a lot of prominence due to the freedom it offers to the disputants. Online Arbitration is a mixture of conventional Arbitration under Arbitration & Conciliation Act 1996, combined with technological features requiring application of Information Technology Act 2000. This paper looks at the dimensions of online arbitration in India along with the difficulties, advantages and legal complexities that this form of dispute resolution entails. The future of arbitration is online arbitration if India wants to cut down on its ever increasing backlog of cases and this form of ADR would allow quick settlements to international as well as domestic business entities.
