Pitch context
You will see “Arbitration” in board papers, contracts, policies, risk registers and compliance reports when the discussion reaches core contract language.
Why it matters: In core contract language, a loose definition can change rights, obligations, approval, disclosure or enforceability.
Caution
Meaning, enforceability and required process vary by jurisdiction and agreement; this definition is not legal advice.
