                           I. INTRODUCTION
 Settling controversies by arbitration is an ancient practice at common law. In
.general, it is substitution, by consent of parties, of another court for the
tribunals provided by  the ordinary  processes of law. Its purpose is to
ultimately dispose of the issues put forth, expeditiously and economically, so
that they may not turn out to be the subject of future litigation between the
parties.
