Arbitration has been available for a number of years to resolve disagreements over arrangements for children when a marriage breaks down and also disputes with regard to finances.
It offers many advantages over the Court system (including speed, cost and flexibility) which is becoming slower and slower and as a result, more expensive.
Arbitration in family law cases received a significant boost in a decision by Mr Justice Moor in the High Court very recently.
The Judge was concerned with an application as to what questions should be put to an expert accountant, but the main point is that he was clearly frustrated by the valuable time of High Court Judges being wasted and endorsed arbitration as a much better way of resolving issues such as the those he had to consider.
Arbitration has been available as a means of dispute resolution for financial issues since 2012 and in relation to children since 2016.
