Description

The law allowed parties to resolve certain disputes involving property rights through arbitration instead of the regular courts. It set rules for arbitration agreements, arbitral procedures, and the legal force of arbitral awards in Brazil. This was a major step for commercial dispute resolution because it increased legal certainty and offered a faster alternative for business conflicts.
