Confidentiality

which has the role of protecting the credibility and prestige of the parties by the fact that the case file, debates and pronouncement are not public. The court hearings are not public, no person has access to information on the activity of resolving disputes of the Court of Arbitration.

Increased quality of justice

ensured by the choice of referees who have in-depth knowledge in the respective field.

Closer approach to the spirit of commercial business

from the perspective of not irreparably compromising the continuation of trade relations between the parties and by resolving disputes in an atmosphere devoid of rigidity.

The costs of resolving disputes are lower

due to the short term in which the arbitral award is pronounced, which can be invested with an executory formula. (the term in which the arbitral award is pronounced is of maximum 6 months, and only an appeal can be exercised against the arbitral award, respectively the action for annulment).

Specialized competence

of arbitrators is another reason for resorting to arbitration, as well as the possibility for the parties to choose the titular arbitrator and the substitute arbitrator from the list of arbitrators.

Procedural advice

is provided free of charge by the specialized staff of the Court of Arbitration at the seat of the Court, by telephone or by correspondence.

Access the services of the Commercial Arbitration Court attached to the Ilfov Chamber of Commerce and Industry

In order to benefit from these advantages, it is necessary to have a compromising clausein the contract concluded between the parties, by which, they agree that the disputes that will result from / in connection with the contract that includes the clause will be resolved through arbitration organized by the Commercial Arbitration Court attached to the Ilfov Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

In the absence of an arbitration clause inserted in the contract, if a dispute has already arisen between the parties, they may conclude a “compromis“, a separate contract document, agreeing that the dispute between them be settled by the Commercial Arbitration Court attached to the C.C.I. Ilfov. This document must refer to a current and determined dispute, mentioned as such in the compromise act.

If the parties consider a potentially contentious situation, which has not yet been triggered, their agreement to arbitrate this dispute is not a compromise, but an arbitration clause, which may be inserted in an addendum to the basic contract.
