Arbitration is favored by the Federal Arbitration Act and similar state laws, and arbitration agreements, if properly drafted and administered, are enforceable under those laws. Arbitration agreements are governed primarily by contract law and the arbitrator must comply with the terms of the arbitration agreement.
Arbitration can be binding (which means the participants must follow the arbitrator's decision and courts will enforce it) or nonbinding (meaning either party is free to reject the arbitrator's decision and take the dispute to court, as if the arbitration had never taken place).
Under the Armendariz standards, an arbitration agreement will not be enforced in California if it is both "procedurally unconscionable" and "substantively unconscionable." Any arbitration agreement required as a condition of employment (i.e., any mandatory arbitration agreement) is automatically considered procedurally
First, any valid arbitration agreement must reflect the conscious, mutual and free will of the parties to resort to arbitration and not to other means of dispute resolution, including State courts. The consent of both parties to submit their dispute to arbitration is the cornerstone of arbitration.
"Arbitration agreement" is an agreement by the parties to submit to arbitration all or certain disputes which have arisen or which may arise between them in respect of a defined legal relationship, whether contractual or not.
While parties are not required to have an attorney to participate in arbitration, arbitration is a final, legally-binding process that may impact a party's rights. As such, parties may want to consider consulting an attorney at any time before, during, or after the arbitration.
To enforce the right to arbitrate, the party must then file a motion to stay the lawsuit in favor of arbitration. If both parties to the agreement ignore the right to arbitrate, the right is waived.
The award is the decision of the arbitrator on the matters submitted to him or her under the arbitration agreement. If there is more than one arbitrator, the majority decision is binding.
