Arbitrability, Criminal Matters, PerspectiveAbstract
Arbitrability is one of the most contentious and widely discussed issues of arbitration. The aim of taking up this topic in this paper is to establish that the exclusion of a subject matter from the domain of arbitrator’s consideration does not mean the exclusion of each and every aspect of that subject matter. Rather some aspects of a non-arbitrable subject matter may be allowed for arbitrator’s judgment. To prove this point, the arbitrability of criminal matters is discussed to manifest that some issues springing from criminal matters may also be submitted to arbitration.
