ARBITRATION COURT The Arbitration Court of the Estonian Chamber of Commerce and Industry as the oldest Estonian permanent arbitration court settles disputes arising from private law relationships, including foreign trade and other contractual business relations.
26 ACTIVITIES AND SERVICES
I The arbitration procedure is confidential, which means that the Arbitration Court does not disclose to the third persons any information regarding the disputing parties and the dispute. Information is disclosed to third persons only in case if the Arbitration Court has a previous written consent of the parties for disclosing information. I The arbitration fee is the cheaper the bigger the amount of claim. Determining the arbitration fee always takes into account the expected complexity of the dispute and the manner of forming the arbitration court (if the parties wish an arbitration court with one or for example five members). I The arbitration procedure is faster, the term for the procedure is up to six months (which can be extended, if necessary). In most cases the arbitration decision is made within 3-4 months. I The parties can participate in forming the arbitration court settling the dispute, suggest their candidates, make proposals regarding how many members should the Arbitration Court settling the case have etc. I It is easy to enforce the decision of the Arbitration Court in a foreign country (in all countries that have joined the 1958 New York convention- 142). I The decision of the Arbitration Court enters into force from the moment of its making, thus it can be enforced from the moment of its making (the decision can be taken to a bailiff and the execution proceedings can be started).
X
The recommended clauses of arbitration can be found at www.koda.ee in the Arbitration Court section, under the sample clauses of arbitration.
