DISENCHANTED?

BUSINESS SATISFACTION WITH
INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION
I. INTRODUCTION
Are businesses becoming disenchanted with international
arbitration? The perception used to be that, by agreeing to arbitration,
parties "trade[d] the procedures and opportunity for review of the
courtroom for the simplicity, informality, and expedition of
arbitration."1 Now, according to some, arbitration has become the
"new litigation,"2 with commentators complaining of the
"judicialization"3 and "creeping legalism"4 of arbitration. Anecdotal
statements of dissatisfaction with arbitration (international or
otherwise) are common,5 including reports of businesses removing
arbitration clauses from their form contracts6 and even "company-wide
bans on arbitration clauses.
