A South Carolina Notice of Arbitration Hearing is a document that is filed with the court to notify the parties involved in a dispute that an arbitration hearing has been scheduled. It typically includes the date, time, and location of the hearing, as well as the names of the parties involved in the dispute. There are two types of South Carolina Notice of Arbitration Hearings: Pre-Arbitration Conferences and Arbitration Hearings. A Pre-Arbitration Conference is a meeting between the parties involved in a dispute to discuss the issues and attempt to resolve the dispute without formal arbitration proceedings. An Arbitration Hearing is a formal legal proceeding in which an impartial arbitrator listens to each party's evidence and arguments, and then renders a decision. The decision of the arbitrator is legally binding and can be enforced by the court.
