[00:00:00]We have another model called the arb-med-arb model, which represents an even more institutionally refined hybrid mechanism.

[00:00:09]Under this approach, the parties may first initiate arbitration, thereby securing jurisdiction and procedural certainty, after which the proceedings may be paused to allow for mediation.

[00:00:23]If the parties successfully reach a settlement, it may be recorded as an arbitral award under the act. If mediation fails, arbitration resumes and culminates in a binding decision.
