Arbitral tribunal
An arbitral tribunal (or arbitration
tribunal) is a panel of one or more
adjudicators which is convened and
sits to resolve a dispute by way
of arbitration. The tribunal may
consist of a sole arbitrator, or
there may be two or more arbitrators,
which might include either a chairman
or an umpire. The parties to a dispute
are usually free to agree the number
and composition of the arbitral
tribunal. In some legal systems,
an arbitration clause which provides
for two (or any other even number)
of arbitrators is understood to
imply that the appointed arbitrators
will select an additional arbitrator
as a chairman of the tribunal, to
avoid deadlock arising. Different
legal systems differ as to how many
arbitrators should constitute the
tribunal if there is no agreement.
