FAQ

The arbitrator's decision can give parties a realistic idea of the outcome of their case. If neither party appeals the decision, it will be binding, like an order by a judge. However, a party unhappy with the arbitrator's decision can request a new trial before a judge.

Section 4 of the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) says "a party aggrieved by the alleged failure, neglect or refusal of another to arbitrate under a written agreement for arbitration may petition any U.S. district court ... for an order directing that such arbitration proceed in the manner provided for in such agreement."

Arbitration is a fairer, faster, and less expensive way to resolve disputes than time-consuming and expensive litigation.

A failure to notify the Arbitration Center may result in the entry of a judgment against the plaintiff and in favor of the defendant, if the plaintiff fails to appear, regardless of whether the defendant appears at the hearing or not.

If the arbitration is mandatory and binding, the parties waive their rights to use the court system and have a judge or jury decide the case. If the arbitrator's award is unfair or illogical, a consumer may well be stuck with it without a chance for recourse.

You, the other party, and any potential witnesses will be sworn in. You and the other party may now take turns presenting opening statements. Afterward, you and your attorney will present your case, followed by questioning from the other party's attorney, although this is not required.

You have a difficult decision to make, although it may not matter whether you sign the “agreement” or not. If you continue to work after you are informed that a forced arbitration agreement governs your employment, you may be bound by it, even if you refuse to sign it.

Once an arbitrator issues an award, either an agency or a union may appeal the arbitrator's award by filing an "exception" with the Authority within 30 days after the date on which the Arbitrator served the award on the parties.

Failing to Respond to an Arbitration Request Can Have Serious Consequences, Including a Default Judgment and Potential Financial and Reputational Damage. It Is Important for the Claimant to Reassess the Served Notice and Consult With a Legal Expert if the Respondent Fails to Respond.

Mediation does not impose a solution and it is not binding until the parties reach and sign a settlement agreement. If a settlement cannot be reached, the parties are welcome to continue with the arbitration process. Unlike an arbitrator, a mediator has no power to decide a dispute.
