As more litigants turn to arbitration, regardless of whether a ruling is binding or if attorneys are able to appeal the ruling to one of the Florida circuit or federal courts, foreign litigators face a dilemma.

Suppose their home court judiciary fails to understand and respect that arbitration is intended to be final and binding and should be subject to review only on a limited basis. In that case, litigators have a competitive disadvantage if they choose to litigate in places such as Miami, London and Paris, in which the courts understand and respect arbitration.
