MACDUFF: O Banquo! O Banquo! Our royal master's murdered.

While the act committed in the case of arbitration is not aligned to such violence, it does have a significant effect on the status of settlement of disputes under government contracts. Arbitration in government contracts has been over the years a matter of controversy and, though not an active form of settlement presently, has nevertheless been accepted by the government to enhance its interests and policies. This article has for its purpose the stimulation of thought regarding the place of arbitration in government contract disputes.
