Description

Arbitration is an alternative means of settling a dispute by impartial persons without proceeding to a court trial. It is sometimes preferred as a means of settling a matter in order to avoid the expense, delay, and acrimony of litigation. There is no discovery and there are simplified rules of evidence in arbitration. The arbitrator or arbitrators are selected directly by the parties or are chosen in accordance with the terms of a contract in which the parties have agreed to use a court-ordered arbitrator or an arbitrator from the American Arbitration Association. If there is no contract, usually each party chooses an arbitrator and the two arbitrators select a third to comprise the panel. When parties submit to arbitration, they agree to be bound by and comply with the arbitrators' decision. The arbitrators' decision is given after an informal proceeding where each side presents evidence and witnesses. Arbitration hearings usually last only a few hours and the opinions are not public record. Arbitration has long been used in labor, construction, and securities regulation, but is now gaining popularity in other business disputes. An Agreement to Arbitrate a Disputed Open Account is a contract between two parties that specifies that any disputes regarding an open account will be resolved through arbitration rather than through a court of law. This agreement typically outlines the terms of the dispute, such as the amount in dispute, the parties involved, and the timeline for resolution. The two main types of Agreement to Arbitrate a Disputed Open Account are binding arbitration agreements and non-binding arbitration agreements. A binding arbitration agreement requires both parties to abide by the arbitrator’s decision on the dispute, while a non-binding arbitration agreement allows either party to reject the decision and pursue other legal remedies. In both binding and non-binding agreements, the parties must agree to the terms of the arbitration process. This typically includes the selection of an arbitrator, the location of the arbitration, and the cost of the arbitration process. The agreement should also include the timeline for resolution of the dispute and any potential penalties should a party fail to abide by the arbitrator’s decision. The Agreement to Arbitrate a Disputed Open Account should be signed by both parties and can be enforced through the court system if necessary. This agreement helps both parties avoid the time and costs associated with a court trial and provides a more efficient way to resolve disputes.
