Arbitration judiciary, often referred to as arbitration, is commonly presented in the literature as one of the alternative methods of dispute resolution. The objections to the irregularities of the judicial state system and legitimate expectations in terms of reducing the time and costs of the proceedings guarantee the parties real access to court and protection of their rights by drawing up an arbitration clause. As part of the mutual relations of arbitration with respect to alternative dispute resolution methods, it should be emphasized that arbitration is a real alternative to the state justice administered by the common courts. It is also worth pointing to the possibilities and the need for disputes resolution by arbitration constituting as an important addition to the course of justice made by courts. The consistent intention to resolve the conflict reflected in the arbitration agreement and the exceptional opportunities for the parties to participate in the arbitration proceedings constitute a new content of the culture and legal awareness of citizens and the creation of modern mutual relations between the parties of broadly understood civil law relations. An arbitration clause, the implementation of arbitration proceedings and the resolution of a dispute within the framework of arbitration may and should therefore constitute a new quality in the administration of justice.

The paper considers alternative methods of dispute resolution as a measure to reduce the workload on the courts. At present, the need to reduce the workload on courts is quite acute in Russia. According to the members of the European Commission for the Efficiency of Justice (CEPEJ), a large workload on courts (and, accordingly, on judges) seriously affects the quality of justice and the timing of the consideration of cases. It should be noted that all judicial systems of the world without exception face this problem, but the statistics of the European Commission for the Efficiency of Justice (CEPEJ) shows that over the past few years the burden on courts and judges has significantly decreased in the EU countries.The authors summarize that foreign judicial practice has successfully tested working tools to reduce the burden on courts, which the Russian judicial system may well borrow. However, these tools require gradual development and elaboration given all Russian legal realities. A sharp transition to alternative dispute resolution may negatively affect the quality of dispute resolution in Russia. If the legislator restricts the ability of citizens to consider disputes in courts (for example, by increasing court fees), but at the same time alternative dispute resolution methods will remain at a low level of legal and social development (citizens’ distrust, weak legislative elaboration, etc.), then citizens will completely lose the platform for legal dispute resolution. It is quite possible that we will return to the criminal experience of the economy of the 1990s.

This chapter identifies courts and tribunals as the place where the laws discussed in the previous chapters are interpreted and utilized in the legal system. The jurisdiction of the courts and the personnel within them are described and a comparison is drawn between these forums for the administration of justice. It is important for those in business to be aware of the work of at least one tribunal—the Employment Tribunal, as many employment-related disputes ultimately end up here. Also, the courts in the English legal system, and the increasing use of Alternative Dispute Resolution mechanisms, are relevant to businesses as they are used either to settle disputes or to avoid them altogether. Because the term ‘court’ is difficult to define in any practical sense, the chapter uses a description of what a court does.

This Thesis was written based on the result of legal research that analyzes conflict of business dispute resolution between arbitration and litigation in accordance with the applicable regulation and court decisions which have acquired permanent legal force. The method used in this legal research is normative legal methods. The study of literature as a basis of the research and according to Law Number 30 Years 1999 about Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution, in Article 3 and Article 11 of the Law have expressively stated that District Court does not have the authority to adjudicate disputes between the parties that bound by the arbitration agreement. The result of this legal research is that arbitration clause as stated in business investment agreement that should be absolute competencies to resolve the dispute, but the Decision of District Court Judges which have been strengthened by Supreme Court of Indonesia expressively stated that the court has the authority to check and adjudicate the dispute even it has arbitration clause or arbitration agreement with the reason that the dispute is a tort and there are another parties beside the party who sign the Investment Agreement, in the suit. The court attitude that adjudicate the dispute with arbitration clause lead to conflict of competency and never ending adjudication process of business dispute. From the actual case that researcher has been analyzes, researcher suggest that Supreme Court of Indonesia as the highest judicial body must respect arbitration body by rejecting all of the civil cases that have arbitration clause on its agreement. Law Number 48 Years 2009 about Judicial Power stated that non-litigation dispute resolution is conducted through arbitration or alternative dispute resolution. Based on pacta sun servanda and choice of forum principles on the agreement binding to the parties and must be obeyed by the parties.KeyWord : : Arbitration Clause, Pacta Sun Servanda Principle, Business.

The topic of Alternative Dispute Resolution is comprehensively presented in Italy because of two different demands. The first is a demand presented at the European level to adopt measures that are meant to align the legal and regulatory provisions of different member States, even through the development of alternative methods for dispute resolution, in order to guarantee better access to justice at large, and this can be done through the use of supplemental and alternative dispute resolution methods which are of equal dignity to court proceedings. The second demand is presented at the national level and aims respond to the slowness of local court proceedings through so-called de-juridicalization, where legislations pertaining to A.D.R were supplemented with emergency measures that now include alternative tools among them. This complex tableau led to the creation of very detailed tools for dispute resolution on the civil front, tools that were often borrowed from foreign experiences. This paper wishes to offer a general framework of the principal players, without necessarily being exhaustive. In fact, in addition to Arbitration, which finds its origins in the Civil Code, Italian regulators have added over time procedures for civil and commercial mediation, assisted negotiation, settlement procedures for overindebtedness crisis and mediation on matters of energy and telecommunications and, more in general, on consumer matters. Some of these tools take on a principally deflationary function on matters of civil disputes where these same tools are considered necessary and constitute a condition of admissibility to be able to start legal proceedings. Faced with this complex tableau, in 2016 the Italian Ministry of Justice established a research committee, composed of professors, judges, lawyers and notaries who were entrusted with the task reassessing organically the matter with the aim of developing “de-juridicalization” tools using mediation, assisted negotiations and arbitration. In January 2017, this Commission, at the end of its tenure, presented a series of proposal to modify the legislation that was then in force. These proposals are to this day still under consideration by the Ministry of Justice. The establishment of the aforementioned Commission seemed justified because of the imminent termination of the implementation period for the compulsory mediation required by law for some disputes on civil and commercial matters, pursuant to Article 5, para. 1-bis, of Legal Decree 28/20106 that, instead, found a solution after changes made to convert Legislative Decree No. 50, April 24, 2017,7 through the so-called corrective action of 2017, into Law No. 96 of June 21, 2017.

In the article there is an analysis of criminal and criminal prosecution mechanism of legal persons’ liability for the violation of competition rules in some post-Soviet countries (Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Estonia). With a glance to a comparative evaluation there are features of national approaches established to regulate criminal law and criminal procedural measures applicable to legal persons who have committed acts in the field contrary to honest practices in industrial or commercial matters covered by the criminal branch of law. Based on the latest trends in criminalization, the model of criminal liability of legal persons is identified that is known in the world’s practice. Among them there are marked identified model (on the example of Estonia and Kyrgyzstan) and extended identified (based on the legislative approaches of Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova) models of corporate criminal liability. There are accumulated findings about the specifics of criminal prosecution of legal persons who have committed socially dangerous acts in the sphere of competition, and the possibility of using alternative mechanisms for the settlement of criminal law disputes in the stage of criminal prosecution. The conclusion defined is about direct dependence of realization of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms on the approach of the legislator to the legal entity of the Institute of responsibility of legal persons in criminal law.

- Ivan Pupolizio's book La mediazione familiare in Italia (Family Mediation in Italy) is the latest in a series that testifies to the increasing interest at work in Italy in topics of alternative conflict solving. The theoretical approach adopted to the topic is accompanied by evidence from professional practice and information about the authorities and subjects that work in the field of family mediation. Pupolizio takes an in-depth look at the practice of family mediation in Italy and draws up a summarised chronology of its development. Mediators do not investigate the couple's experience as a means for understanding the causes of the problem, but work together with the parties to identify concrete solutions for the future. Mediators have clearly already started venturing along the path that leads to their professionalisation. Training whose purpose is to accredit family mediators will in due course flank basic training for lawyers who are not familiar with these procedures. Pupolizio spends some time and energy looking into the legislative aspects of the mediator's professional practice. Today's legislation offers several spaces for mediation, primarily when spouses separate. The book's theoretical section discusses fears that the methods of alternative dispute resolution may lead to a privatisation of justice, dwelling in particular on the criticism expressed by the women's movement, which considers that mediation, as opposed to the legal system, puts women at a disadvantage towards men. Pupolizio believes that alternative methods do not constitute a danger for equity when they are understood correctly to be methods of appropriate dispute resolution.
