Disputes
Why Arbitration ?
Litigation
Rules of procedure are fixed
Oral hearings compulsory
Admissibility
of
evidence
is
governed by the Evidence Act
E.g. in order for documents to be
admitted into evidence, the maker
of the documents must be called
as a witness, and be crossexamined.
Arbitration
Generally, the procedure to be
adopted in arbitration is for the
parties to determine by agreement
Failing agreement, it is for the
arbitrators to determine
General discretion on arbitrators to
dispense with oral hearings unless
requested by one party.
Arbitrators have the power to
determine such matters such as
admissibility, relevance, materiality
and weight of any evidence
Malaysia as a forum
for Maritime Arbitration
Malaysia a
Viable Alternative
