Judicial Intervention in Arbitration

Abstract

Abstract
The paper looks at the intervention of Courts in arbitral proceedings.
Employing the doctrinal research method, the study found that the jurisdiction
of the court is necessary and prescribed by the 2023 Arbitration and Mediation
Act of Nigeria, to commence the arbitration; in the course of the arbitration;
and in the enforcement of an arbitral award. The paper concludes that as much
as the involvement of national courts in arbitration is necessary, courts should
restrict such interference to stipulated areas, to achieve quick dispensation of
justice.
