Until two decades ago, online dispute resolution catered primarily to B2C transactions that boomed with the advent of the e-commerce revolution. Nowadays, online dispute resolution needs to cater also to B2B transactions that occur over blockchain and the Metaverses. Thus, it is incumbent to study the evolving realm of online dispute resolution in order to understand the extent to which the existing legal mechanisms can serve to regulate it.With this aim in mind, this article examines the continued relevance of the New York Convention to procedural and substantive issues relating to enforcement of arbitration agreements and arbitral awards rendered in the context of disputes that arise online. These disputes could pertain to B2C disputes that use technology-assisted dispute resolution or to the more modern-day disputes arising out of transactions over blockchain and the Metaverses where the dispute resolution itself is technology-based and conducted using self-enforcing smart contracts.Whether and to what extent such dispute resolution would qualify as arbitration as we traditionally know it, particularly in light of the requirement that an arbitration be subject to the laws of a designated legal seat, is a foundational issue that this article analyses. Further, the article examines other related questions concerning the relevance of the New York Convention for online dispute resolution, including questions concerning the writing requirement for arbitration agreements, the arbitrability of disputes and the requirement for the arbitral process to adhere to the basic norms of due process by analyzing new caselaw relevant for these issues.
