Arbitration Agreement
Definition
Arbitration agreement when the parties to any contract agree to settle by
arbitration a controversy thereafter arising between them.
RA 876, Section 2. Persons and matters subject to arbitration. - Two or more
persons or parties may submit to the arbitration of one or more arbitrators
any controversy existing between them at the time of the submission and
which may be the subject of an action, or the parties to any contract may in
such contract agree to settle by arbitration a controversy thereafter arising
between them. Such submission or contract shall be valid, enforceable and
irrevocable, save upon such grounds as exist at law for the revocation of any
contract.
Such submission or contract may include question arising out of valuations,
appraisals or other controversies which may be collateral, incidental,
precedent or subsequent to any issue between the parties.
A controversy cannot be arbitrated where one of the parties to the
controversy is an infant, or a person judicially declared to be incompetent,
unless the appropriate court having jurisdiction approve a petition for
permission to submit such controversy to arbitration made by the general
guardian or guardian ad litem of the infant or of the incompetent.
But where a person capable of entering into a submission or contract has
knowingly entered into the same with a person incapable of so doing, the
objection on the ground of incapacity can be taken only in behalf of the person
so incapacitated.
