Decree-Law no. 81-C/2017 of 7 July, in paragraph 2 of its article 70, requires credit intermediaries to adhere to at least two arbitration centres.
This Arbitration Center has already had many adhesions, from North to South of the country, within the scope of the aforementioned legislation imposed by the Bank of Portugal on bank credit intermediaries.
We inform you that CAUAL is an arbitration center with generic competence and of national scope, being able to host any legally arbitrable dispute, in addition to consumer disputes. It is therefore much broader in relation to the disputes it receives.
Thus, neighbourhood, commercial (contracts and others), family (regulation and change of parental responsibilities, divorces, inheritance), labor conflicts, in the context of "health", are also included in the service we provide, in addition to the one that is for you. required by the Bank of Portugal.
