Internet
abolishes space and limits travels; Internet allows significant financial
gains. Such advantages, which are consistent with the values of arbitration,
could only lead to its use in the arbitration practice. The use of the Internet
has in particular changed the skills required to intervene efficiently in the
award-making process, has resulted in more transparency from each player in the
arbitration field and has also transformed the relationships between the
players in the arbitration procedure. Although arbitration has progressively
embraced the Internet, there is no online dispute resolution procedure. The
term “online arbitration” allows arbitration players to reject the adjudicating machine
and online arbitration centers. This rejection is understandable. “Online
arbitration” endangers the permanence of the arbitral milieu as it is defined
nowadays, implies the acquisition by arbitration practitioners of a new
know-how and questions the powers obtained from the control of information.
