ELECTRONIC ARBITRATION AS A MECHANISM FOR RESOLVING E-COMMERCE DISPUTES

Abstract

     Due to the flourishing of electronic commerce and the accompanying disputes that require the use of the same means to resolve them, the use of electronic arbitration has become necessary. This has led many jurisdictions to establish the legal framework for this mechanism, and numerous electronic arbitration centres have been set up for this purpose. However, despite the regulation of electronic commerce in Algeria, its legislation still recognises traditional arbitration, which raises the question of the application of its system to electronic arbitration, starting from the arbitration agreement, through the proceedings of the dispute, to the issuance of the award, all of which can be done electronically, making it enforceable.
