If state courts try cases in a lengthy manner, regardless of the fact
whether because of unfit and outdated procedure or because there are
too few judges or because litigation before the state court is too
costly, then the parties are, in some measure, forced to avoid such
state courts and to submit their disputes to arbitration courts.
S. Gołąb, Z. Wustanowski Kodeks sądów polubownych (The Code of
arbitration courts), published in Krakow, 1933).
The Polish Arbitration Association has been established in 1990. A member of the Association can be any individual interested in arbitration and alternative dispute resolution. The main purposes of the Association are:
