A claimant will typically start arbitration by sending a document known as a “request for arbitration” or a “notice to arbitrate” to its opponent.
Arbitration is similar to going to court, but is usually faster, cheaper and less complex than litigation. Mediation is an informal process in which a trained, impartial mediator facilitates negotiations between disputing parties, helping them find a mutually acceptable solution.
But first, let's get some context. What is arbitration? ... #1: Understand the arbitration agreement deeply. #2: Understand the applicable rules. #3: Conduct preliminary research and gather information. #4: Know your arbitrator. #5: Prepare your client. #6: Draft the opening statement. #7: Manage the hearing day.
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.
Arbitration is a fairer, faster, and less expensive way to resolve disputes than time-consuming and expensive litigation.
Necessary Elements Details of the Parties. Details of the relationship between the parties. Demand for Arbitration. The mention of agreement/contract (if any). The mention of already existing arbitration agreement between the parties pursuant to which the concerned notice of arbitration has been sent (if any).
How to prepare and present a labor arbitration case Conduct a comprehensive investigation. Collect relevant documents. Study the contract to find clauses that directly or indirectly affect the dispute. Talk to anyone who might be able to help provide a full picture of the case, providing a strong factual foundation.
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.
To give you an idea of the process that arbitration typically involves, the American Arbitration Association describes artibtration as having five main steps: Filing and initiation. Arbitrator selection. Preliminary hearing. Information exchange and preparation. Hearings. Post hearing submissions. Award.
