Description

The Arbitration Agreement for business in Ohio establishes a binding arbitration process for disputes related to the sale and financing of manufactured homes. It is executed alongside an installment or sales contract and adheres to the Federal Arbitration Act, signifying its legitimacy in interstate commerce. The agreement ensures that any claims, whether concerning sales, payments, or related matters, are to be resolved through the American Arbitration Association's Commercial Arbitration Rules. It outlines that arbitration can be initiated through written notice, specifying the claim and desired remedy, while also limiting the time frame based on statutes of limitations. For claims under twenty thousand dollars, a single arbitrator is appointed, and for larger sums, a panel of three arbitrators is required. The arbitrator's decision is final and can be enforced in court, although it waives the right to a jury trial. This form is particularly beneficial for attorneys, partners, and owners in streamlining dispute resolution, ensuring compliance with federal laws, and protecting their interests in transactions. Paralegals and legal assistants may find utility in understanding the procedural steps and document completion, while associates can leverage the agreement to advise clients on alternative dispute resolutions.

Recently, Ohio's Tenth District Court of Appeals (which covers Franklin County) held that while Ohio's arbitration statute (ORC Ch. 2711) requires agreements to arbitrate to be in writing to be enforceable, there is nothing in the Statute that requires signatures to be on those written agreements.

Typically, the parties elect arbitration in an arbitration clause included in their original contract, signed well before any dispute arises. In other cases, after a dispute arises, the parties may agree to seek arbitration by signing a post-dispute referral to arbitration.

The Scope of the Clause. This section of the clause is critical; it sets the boundaries for which disputes the tribunal is authorised to determine. Choice of Rules. The Number of Arbitrators. Appointing Authority. Choice of Venue. The language of the proceedings. Finality. Exclusion of the right of appeal.

Arbitration is the most commonly used method of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), and you'll find an arbitration clause in the fine print of all kinds of contracts these days.

Arbitration is an ADR process where the parties present arguments and evidence to an independent third party, the arbitrator, who makes a determination. Arbitration is particularly useful where the subject matter is highly technical, or where the parties seek greater confidentiality than in an open court.
