Courts should generally stay—rather than dismiss—a lawsuit after compelling arbitration. Courts—rather than arbitrators—must decide which of two conflicting contracts governs arbitrability of a dispute.
Arbitration is an out-of-court settlement procedure where disputes between parties are resolved by an unbiased third party known as an arbitrator. The arbitrator listens to both sides of the dispute, examines the evidence and arguments presented, and then makes a binding decision that is enforceable by law.
At the conclusion of the arbitration hearing the arbitrator will issue an award in favor one party, which will be binding, unless one of the parties requests a trial de novo.
A motion may be withdrawn at any time prior to its return date by filing with the clerk a written request signed by counsel for the moving party.
But, in the absence of an agreement between all parties to end the proceedings, can a claimant unilaterally withdraw from an arbitration that it has commenced? The short answer is yes. No set of institutional rules prevents a party from abandoning claims it has raised in an arbitration.
Residents and their legal representatives can rescind an arbitration agreement by giving written notice to the facility within 30 days of their signature. (California Code of Civil Procedure § 1295, 42 CFR § 483.70(n)(3)).
If I understand correctly, it means that they filed a motion which they didn't want the court to hear anymore, asked to withdraw it, and permission was granted. The result is as if the first motion was never brought.
You must appear in person on your scheduled court date to request that your family offense petition be withdrawn. The judge, support magistrate, or referee has the discretion to grant or deny this request. Note: If you are submitting this request by mail or by fax, then it must be notarized.
Specifically, pursuant to Uniform Rule 202.7 (f), upon an application for an order to show cause that seeks a temporary restraining order, the application must contain an affirmation demonstrating that there will be significant prejudice to the party seeking the restraining order by the giving of notice.
The court will not accept motions, orders to show cause, requests for court conferences, or any other papers until an RJI is filed. An RJI may be filed at any time after service of process and must conform to the requirements of 22 NYCRR § 202.6.
