Chapter 1: INTRODUCTION TO THE ARBITRATION OF TRUST DISPUTES
Full access

Over the last century, arbitration has established itself as one of the most popular means for resolving commercial disputes and has even penetrated fields of law traditionally reserved for the courts such as antitrust/competition law, company law and even tax law. However, despite offering several clear advantages over court proceedings such as greater enforceability, the ability to choose one's judge, neutrality, confidentiality and speed, it has not made any great inroad into trust disputes. This chapter aims to briefly outline the context behind this strange state of affairs and introduce the challenges faced by trust arbitration which this book will be addressing.
