Application of International Law
What laws govern arbitration in the U.S.? The law that governs arbitration in the U.S is The Federal Arbitration Act. In an arbitration contractual agreement the parties have agreed to use arbitrator or arbitration panel as opposed to a judgment entered by a court of law, so they are also giving up the right to appeal. When there is an award is entered by an arbitration or arbitration panel, it must be confirmed in a court of law. It must be confirmed within one year, while any objection to an award must be challenged by losing party within three months (“What laws goven”, 2015).
What laws govern arbitration in Russia? The law that governs arbitration in Russia is The Federal Law on International Commercial Arbitration. The law sets out a provision as to the written form of the arbitration agreement. Exchange of e-mails, faxes, letters and other means of communication can qualify that there is an arbitrational agreement even without any written document. When drafting an arbitration agreement make sure the basics are correct, examples would be name of arbitration institute, or reference to exact set of procedural rules. This could be cause of not having an arbitration heard (“Arbitration in Russia”, 2015).
