What is binding arbitration? Binding arbitration involves the submission of a dispute to a neutral party who hears the case and makes a decision. Arbitration takes the place of a trial before a judge or jury.
A submission agreement provides for the referral of disputes for resolution by arbitration. A submission agreement maybe used in circumstances where the parties have not previously included a dispute resolution clause in their contract and/or it may be used to supersede and replace prior dispute resolution agreements.
In the submission agreement, the parties agree to submit only a specific dispute to arbitration. They can do so at the time the dispute arises, while the parties are engaged in negotiations for a resolution, or even if the dispute is already being actively litigated in court.
We noted that arbitration clauses are made before any dispute arises. Submission agreements, however, are agreements to arbitrate made after the dispute has arisen.
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.
Specifically as to arbitration agreements, despite a statute requiring them to be in writing, Louisiana law does not require the agreements to be signed to be enforceable.
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
A Submission Agreement is a post-dispute agreement to resolve an existing dispute through arbitration.
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.
An arbitration clause is a clause in a contract that requires the parties to resolve their disputes through an arbitration process.
