Comparison of ICC Expert Report vs. ICC Arbitration Award Within ADR

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to compare the ICC Expert proceedings and ICC Arbitration within alternative dispute resolution services provided by the International Chamber of Commerce. These two procee-dings are widely used contractually in conjunction, however their outcomes and effectiveness pursu-ant to the legal framework of the Slovak Republic differ. We aim to outline the important factors to consider when choosing these methods of dispute resolution and their particularities. This contri-bution will contrast the legal nature of ICC Expert Reports and ICC Arbitration Awards and their re-spective recognition and enforceability in the Slovak Republic.
