Arbitration can be a really unpredictable mess that just winds up in front of the courts, in one way or another. Something like Sharia arbitration might work between two muslims with some sort of Muslim Arbitration Association arbitrator, though.

At first glance, I can't really see it working out between two random citizens, in the UK or the US -- I think decisions reached through religious arbitration would be susceptible to appeals for disrgarding the law.
