Arbitration
What happens if the arbitration clause in my Israeli contract doesn't name an institution?
A clause that says 'disputes shall be resolved by arbitration' without naming an institution defaults to ad hoc arbitration under the Arbitration Law 1968 or ICA Law 2024. If the parties cannot then agree on an arbitrator, either party can apply to the President of the competent District Court under Section 7 of the Arbitration Law 1968 or Article 11(3) of the ICA Law 2024 to have the court appoint one. This process takes 4-10 weeks and can be contested, so a named institution avoids the uncertainty.
