Commercial Case Adjudication Act Article 61
The court may inquire among the parties about the possibility of settling, transferring the case to mediation, or submitting the case to arbitration to resolve disputes when appropriate and to promote alternative dispute resolutions other than litigation for the parties.If the parties enter into an arbitration agreement in writing during the proceedings, or such an agreement is clearly recorded in the transcript, the court shall order, on a petition or ex officio, to stay the proceedings and order the plaintiff to submit the case to arbitration within a designated period of time. However, this rule does not apply to the cases where the oral argument is already concluded.If the plaintiff fails to submit the case to arbitration within the said time period, as described in the preceding paragraph, the court shall rule to dismiss the case.In the case, as described in Paragraph 2, if an arbitration is established after the court has ruled to stay the litigation proceedings, the litigation proceedings are deemed concluded when the arbitral tribunal reaches an award. If no award is reached, the court may, on a petition or ex officio, revoke the order of the stay of the litigation proceedings.If a settlement is reached, or if the case is deemed as concluded, pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the parties may, within three months from the date the settlement is reached, or the date original arbitral award is served, move for a refund of the balance of the filing fee paid, after deducting one-fourth of the court costs. If the arbitration award made by the arbitration tribunal is revoked by the court's ruling, the parties may request the continuation of the trial and pay back the refunded court costs, as mentioned in the preceding paragraph.The provisions of Paragraph 1 of Article 500 and the main text of Paragraph 2 of Article 501, Article 502, and Article 506 of the Taiwan Code of Civil Procedure shall apply mutatis mutandis to the situation as described in the preceding paragraph.
