Arbitér

Arbitér refers to a person appointed to settle a dispute between parties. This role is common in various contexts, including sports, legal proceedings, and commercial disagreements. In sports, an arbitér, often called a referee or umpire depending on the sport, enforces the rules of the game and makes decisions on the field of play. Their judgments are typically final within the context of the match.

In a legal or commercial setting, an arbitér is a neutral third party chosen by the disputing parties to hear evidence and make a binding decision. This process, known as arbitration, is an alternative to traditional court litigation. Arbitrators are often chosen for their expertise in the specific area of the dispute. The parties usually agree in advance to abide by the arbitér's decision, which can be legally enforceable. The aim of arbitration is often to provide a quicker, less formal, and more private resolution than a court case. The specific powers and responsibilities of an arbitér are defined by the agreement between the parties and the rules of the arbitration forum, if any.
