Ad hoc and Instiutional Arbitration
The parties either agree in advance to the specific issues or certain types of dispute that will be arbitrated, or after a dispute arises, they enter into an ad hoc agreement to arbitrate. In ad hoc agreements in Jordan, the parties in a business contract might negotiate a whole set of custom-made arbitration rules establishing procedures to fit their needs and address all eventualities. Or the parties might suffice with a simple arbitration clause to be included in their contract with a simple reference to statutory procedures such as the Jordanian Arbitration Law, or adopt rules crafted specifically for ad hoc arbitral proceedings such as the UNCITRAL rules.
