The Novo Mercado dealt with this problem by subjecting disputes involving its newly listed companies to arbitration. Commercial arbitration and courts obligations to enforce the arbitrators decisions can assure investors, even if the courts generally do not.

The exponential increase in international trade had led to a corresponding increase in commercial disputes and, in that connection, the importance of arbitration as a means of resolving international commercial disputes could not be overemphasized.

One view was that the principle of freedom of arbitration was deeply rooted and that existing arbitration instruments such as the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, 1958 (the New York Convention) and the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration provided an adequate framework for arbitration, thus obviating the need for such a chapter in the draft convention.

Articles 7, 8(1) and 35 of the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration (MAL) contain provisions similar to those of the New York Convention.

The form of the arbitration agreement is more restrictive than the freedom of form in commercial contracts a contract involving a transaction worth a hundred million dollars may be concluded verbally, but the arbitration agreement relating to that contract must be in writing.
