Arbitration as the preferred method for resolving civil and commercial disputes

Andrea Magliani and Elena Marinucci commented in ItaliaOggi on an increasingly topical issue:

arbitration as the preferred method for resolving civil and commercial disputes.

The figures seem to speak for themselves: 32% growth over five years and a doubling of the total value of new claims in 2024 (CAM).

The Cartabia Reform is the catalyst:

For the first time, it has given arbitrators precautionary powers.

It has strengthened guarantees of impartiality.

It has made proceedings more efficient (simplified arbitration concluded in less than 5 months!).

However, some critical issues remain:

The regulation of precautionary powers, which still requires uniform interpretation, and the issue of costs, particularly for SMEs.
