Arbitration Hub
💡 In simple words: When two people disagree about a deal, a fair helper listens to both sides and decides — quickly, kindly, and without a big scary courtroom.
🎯 In 20 seconds (scientific summary): We are heading towards a world where most agreements are made between people who have never met, across borders, at a speed courts cannot match. This hypothesis proposes that simplified, contract-based arbitration — grounded in Swiss law and the 1958 New York Convention — can resolve everyday disputes in weeks instead of years, at a fraction of the cost, while producing awards enforceable in 170+ countries.
Justice, redesigned for real life
Resolve disputes without a lawyer, a court, or months of waiting.
Most disputes are not legal mysteries. They are broken expectations between two people who once agreed. WikiDeal's Simplified Arbitration turns dispute resolution into something fast, affordable, and human — while remaining fully binding under law.
Why it matters
Arbitration at WikiDeal is a trust-rebuilding machine. When everyone knows that a fair, fast and enforceable process exists, strangers can transact with confidence:
- No fear of getting stuck — disputes get resolved, not buried.
- No power games — the process is the same for a freelancer and a corporation.
- No borders — one award, recognized in 170+ countries.
How it works
Four steps, one clear path:
- Expression — each party states its view of the dispute, in plain language, alone or with a human advisor or AI assistant.
- Documentation — the complaint is turned into an evidence-based file; AI tools help structure and verify the facts against the contract.
- Arbitration — an impartial arbiter reviews the evidence and issues a binding decision, fast and grounded in the contract terms.
- Enforcement — the award is legally enforceable, equivalent in effect to a court ruling, and recognized across borders.
Grounded in law
Simplified Arbitration is not a private shortcut — it rests on solid legal foundations:
- Chapter 12 PILA — Swiss framework for international arbitration (liberal, minimal court interference).
- Part 3 CPC — Swiss framework for domestic arbitration, with explicit protections for weaker parties.
- New York Convention (1958) — international recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards in 170+ countries.
Arbitration is only valid where all parties have explicitly and voluntarily waived civil litigation in writing — consent given at contract signature, never buried in fine print.
