Arbitral tribunal's jurisdiction

arbitral tribunal's jurisdiction
Arbitration is a commonly accepted way of settling disputes between contract parties. The idea of separate dispute resolution provisions states that the illegality of the primary contract does not automatically make the arbitration agreement or clause unlawful. Nevertheless, suppose a lawyer representing one party considers that the arbitration agreement is non-existent, invalid, or cannot be met. In that case, the relevant arbitration laws and procedures must raise the matter in writing as soon as possible.
 
Based on party autonomy in arbitration, most arbitration institutions' rules specify that the arbitral tribunal can decide on its jurisdiction. In most nations, however, the law gives the courts in the location of arbitration the authority to oversee the arbitral tribunal's judgments, including reversing its jurisdictional rulings.
 
 
Arbitration rules have included comparable provisions addressing the process for filing challenges to the arbitral tribunal's jurisdiction. If a lawyer representing a party considers that the arbitral tribunal lacks jurisdiction, they must file a written objection within a reasonable time limit. Participation in arbitration does not generally surrender a party's ability to contest the arbitral tribunal's jurisdiction. The appropriate arbitration statutes or rules control the procedural problems resulting from such jurisdictional objections.
 
Finally, the question of the arbitral tribunal's jurisdiction and the legality of the arbitration agreement are crucial factors in every arbitration procedure. Although the idea of party autonomy governs most arbitration rules, the courts at the site of arbitration maintain supervisory authority over the arbitral tribunal's judgments. As a result, parties must ensure that their attorneys know the appropriate laws and norms and express any objections to the jurisdiction or legality of the arbitration agreement in writing as soon as possible.
