Arbitration is a dispute resolution method where an impartial third party, known as an arbitrator, makes a binding decision. In Jamaica’s real estate sector, arbitration offers a practical alternative to the court system, which can be both expensive and lengthy. Instead of going through the court process, the involved parties agree to accept the arbitrator’s decision. The arbitrator is a neutral expert with no personal interest in the case. This approach is often used to resolve disagreements over real estate transactions, property disputes, or contract terms efficiently and fairly. For example, if there’s a conflict over a property deal, arbitration can provide a swift and cost-effective resolution.
