Arbitration, as a preferred mode of dispute resolution, is grounded in the principles of party autonomy, efficiency, and finality. It offers a private, flexible, and expert-led alternative to traditional litigation. However, the credibility of arbitration ultimately hinges on one critical foundation: the impartiality and independence of the arbitrator. Any compromise, actual or perceived, on this front erodes trust in the process and undermines the legitimacy of the final award.
