CIVIL RESPONSIBILITY IN ONLINE ARBITRATION: EMERGING CHALLENGES AND LEGAL PERSPECTIVES

Abstract

The rapid expansion of international trade has strengthened arbitration as a preferred mechanism for the peaceful settlement of international commercial disputes. In recent years, the emergence of virtual and technology-driven arbitration has further transformed arbitral practice, offering efficiency, accessibility, and procedural flexibility. Despite these advantages, growing concerns have arisen regarding instances where arbitral institutions and arbitrators fail to properly discharge their professional duties, thereby causing material and procedural harm to the parties. This study critically examines the nature and scope of civil responsibility arising from misconduct, negligence, or procedural irregularities in international and virtual arbitration. It explores the legal foundations of arbitrator liability, the limits of arbitral immunity, and the evolving standards of professional accountability in cyberspace dispute resolution. By analyzing doctrinal principles, comparative legal approaches, and relevant arbitral practices, the paper seeks to clarify when and how cyber-arbitrators and arbitral institutions may be held civilly liable. The study ultimately argues for a balanced framework that safeguards arbitrator independence while ensuring effective remedies for injured parties, thereby enhancing confidence in virtual arbitration systems.
