Parties will need to provide material evidence during the arbitration process. Some arbitrators may require that some types of evidence (such as invoices, pictures, and party correspondence) be presented in a specific format, such as in a binder and labeled in a certain order.
The arbitrator's notes are ultimately the record upon which the arbitrator's memory of the hearing will largely be based. The opening statement should, in a concise clear fashion, outline the “who, what, where, how, and when” of the case.
Opening statements are made by each party outlining what they intend to prove. The arbitrator could, for example, require the employer to present its case first. This will be done via witnesses, documents and other evidence.
Always get straight to the merits without berating the other side or whining about how badly it has treated you. Another threat to your credibility is the “kitchen sink” arbitration demand or a response that includes numerous claims or defenses that have little chance of succeeding.
In conclusion, an effective opening statement will tell the arbitrator in a concise, courteous fashion exactly what the factual situation in the case is, what the issues are, how the advocate wants the arbitrator to rule on the issues, and exactly what relief is being requested.
