About this template

What is this template?

This is a formal arbitral award issued by a tribunal rather than a contract between parties. It differs from an arbitration agreement by being the final decision that settles the dispute rather than the instrument that creates the obligation to arbitrate.

When should you use it?

Use this template when a single arbitrator has reached a decision and needs to publish the final award to the parties. Use an Arbitration Agreement instead if the parties are just beginning the dispute resolution process.
