Abstract

”arbitration agreement”, in order to be enforceable must be made in writing. The “arbitration agreement” itself can be incorporated in the main agreement as arbitration clause, that made the main agreement must be made in writing; or specifically made in a form of a separate agreement from the main agreement. This research will discuss and elaborate the development of the interpretation of the words “made in writing” of an “arbitration agreement” to be enforceable before the arbitration tribunal as well as in court of justice. This research is a normative legal research. It conducts literature review on the development of court cases with respect to the interpretation of “made in writing” of “arbitration agreement”. This research used secondary data which can be used to explain the development of the issue of this research. This research used qualitative approach to elaborate and discuss the data obtained through literature review, to provide the conclusion. Data and analysis proved that “in writing” did not mean the “arbitration agreement” must be signed, however there must be sufficient evidences “in writing” that showed that the intention of the parties was to submit their disputes to an arbitration. The “arbitration agreement” itself must be accompanied with relevant clauses that made it possible for execution.
