Abstract

This article explores the shifting landscape of international arbitration, traditionally valued for its efficiency. Today, increased costs and prolonged dispute resolution processes change this perception. The article introduces the Calderbank offer, a strategic instrument from common law that promotes early settlement. By integrating civil law’s adversarial approach and practice to settle with settlement offer in common law, this concept aligns with peace theory and could enhance efficiency in BANI Arbitration Center. This instrument allows arbitral tribunals to impose cost penalties on parties who reject settlement offers and subsequently fail to achieve a more favorable award. In this research, the authors employ a normative juridical research method, utilizing literature review as the primary approach. This research indicates that adopting the Calderbank offer may encourage parties to objectively consider the settlement offer, potentially leading to a win-win solution. BANI Arbitration Center may adopt this instrument, as BANI Rules has included provisions on tribunal discretion in cost allocation.

Bahasa Abstract

Artikel ini mengupas perubahan lanskap arbitrase internasional yang dahulu dikenal karena prinsip efisiensinya. Kini, tingginya biaya serta durasi penyelesaian sengketa yang semakin panjang telah mengubah persepsi tersebut. Artikel ini memperkenalkan Calderbank offer, suatu instrumen strategis dari common law yang dapat mendorong perdamaian lebih dini. Dengan mengintegrasikan adversarial approach dari civil law dan praktik penggunaan settlement offer dari common law, instrumen ini sejalan dengan teori perdamaian dan dapat meningkatkan efisiensi di BANI Arbitration Center. Instrumen ini memungkinkan arbiter atau majelis arbitrase untuk mengenakan penalti biaya kepada pihak yang menolak settlement offer dan gagal untuk mendapatkan putusan yang lebih menguntungkan. Penulis menggunakan metode penelitian yuridis normatif dengan studi kepustakaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan Calderbank offer dapat mendorong para pihak untuk secara objektif mempertimbangkan settlement offer sehingga berpotensi menghasilkan win-win solution. BANI Arbitration Center dapat mengadopsi instrumen ini sejalan dengan BANI Rules yang telah mencakup ketentuan mengenai diskresi arbiter atau majelis arbitrase untuk menentukan alokasi biaya.
