FAQ
Arbitration agreements require that persons who signed them resolve any disputes by binding arbitration, rather than in court before a judge and/or jury. What is binding arbitration? Binding arbitration involves the submission of a dispute to a neutral party who hears the case and makes a decision.
Introduction. Many fail to realise that arbitration proceedings are entirely possible in the absence of an arbitration clause in an underlying contract. The ability to launch arbitration proceedings depends exclusively on the parties' will since this dispute resolution method is purely consensual.
MOTIONS/ORDERS TO SHOW CAUSE The Notice of Motion, affirmations, affidavits and exhibits must be filed as SEPARATE documents. A proposed Order To Show Cause is filed in the same manner as a Notice of Motion using document type ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE (PROPOSED) in place of the Notice of Motion.
The Court held that the remedy of arbitration is the creature of a contract and the same cannot be utilised in absence of a written agreement between the parties as provided under Section 7 of the A&C Act.
Some contracts give you the right to opt out of the forced arbitration clause within a certain period of time, often 30 to 60 days, after signing the agreement by notifying the company that you wish to opt out. Check your contract for the deadline and for specific instructions for opting out.
Most employers in the U.S. now require employees to accept a mandatory arbitration clause—waiving their right to sue in court as a condition of work. Arbitration clauses are often buried in the fine print of one-sided employment contracts that businesses impose, and that workers have no power to contest.
Note that arbitration is still possible even without an arbitration clause also including cases where a dispute has already arisen. Arbitration is an alternative out-of-court dispute resolution process, distinct from Court proceedings.
Conclusion: Going to small claims court may be worth it for $500, but it will determine how you weigh your costs versus benefits. At a minimum, it is worth it to send a demand letter.
