What is compulsory arbitration in the Pennsylvania Courts of Common Pleas? Pursuant to the Pennsylvania Judicial Code, compulsory arbitration is authorized within each county, and each county sets an aggregate amount in controversy for which arbitration shall be required.
Under Article 5 of the 1976 Rules, if the parties have not agreed that there shall be only one arbitrator within 15 days after the receipt by the respondent of the notice of arbitration, three arbitrators will be appointed.
