Q: What are institutional arbitration and ad hoc arbitration ?

Ans: The legal maxim ad hoc means for temporary purpose. It means to get made or done suddenly for particular purpose. There are two types of arbitration i.e institutional arbitration and an ad hoc arbitration.  The institutional arbitration is permanent arbitration whereas ad hoc arbitration is temporary arbitration. An ad hoc arbitration is more flexible than institutional arbitration.
 
When a dispute or difference arose between the parties in course of commercial transaction and the same could not be settled friendly by negotiation in form of conciliation or mediation, in such case,  ad-hoc arbitration may be sought by the conflicting  parties.

An ad hoc arbitration is the arbitration where the parties do not select an institution to administer their arbitration. The ad hoc arbitration offers parties an opportunity to conduct the arbitration in conformity with their wish, permitting more flexibility as well as freedom, but less support.


Judicial intervention in arbitration: 

The Arbitration & Conciliation Act puts out three situations where the judicial authority is given the power to intervene in arbitral proceedings.


When the parties envisaged method for appointment of arbitrators fails, the court intervenes and appoints arbitrators for the proceedings. (S11)


Assistance in acquiring evidence. (S.27)


Ruling on whether the mandate of the arbitrator stands terminated due to inability to perform his functions or failure to proceed without undue delay (S 14 (2).)


11 fails to appoint , 14(2)  inability and delay and 27 ( evidence required).
