_WHERE CAN WE HELP YOU_

Do You Have A Dispute?

     First, you must realize that there is no right to an appeal in arbitration like there is in a court. Under federal and state laws, there are only a few ways to challenge an arbitrator's award. The Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) and some state laws provide the reasons why an award can be vacated (thrown out), modified (changed), or corrected.

    In the event that a party fails to appear at the arbitration, the arbitration must still proceed. Unless the law provides to the contrary, the arbitration may proceed in the absence of any party or representative who, after due notice, fails to be present or fails to obtain a postponement.

    An arbitration hearing is similar to a small claims trial.  The participants present evidence and make arguments supporting their positions. After the hearing, the arbitrator decides in favor of one side or the other.   An arbitrator is more like a judge, who hears the evidence and makes a ruling.

Who pays for arbitration cost?
In most cases, the parties to an arbitration divide the cost of the arbitrator's fees and expenses evenly – that is, each pays half.

Do I have to respond to arbitration?
Refusing to participate in an arbitration will not prevent an arbitration award against that party once it has agreed to arbitrate.  Given courts' great deference to arbitration awards, it is essential for a respondent to present its defense on the merits during the arbitration.

Why is arbitration bad?
Now, here are the reasons why arbitrations are a bad thing for you, the employee.   Arbitrators can limit you in crazy ways which prevent you from proving and winning your case.

How do you win an arbitration case?
To win the arbitration of the closer cases, don't run away from bad facts or create issues where they do not exist. You only have to win the case, not every argument, document or examination. Present the case accurately, fully and logically.

What is the benefit of arbitration?
Arbitration is often resolved much more quickly than court proceedings, so attorney fees are reduced. Also, there are lower costs in preparing for the arbitration than there are in preparing for a jury trial. For binding arbitration, there are limited opportunities for appeal.

What is an Arbitrator's Duties?

I. Definition

1. The duties of an arbitrator are defined as the arbitrator’s obligations to the parties of the arbitration in relation to the arbitral proceedings.1

II. Source of arbitrator's duties

2. There are a number of sources of arbitrator duties and arbitrator responsibilities:

A. Contractual Theory

3. According to the contractual theory, the arbitrators contract with the parties to resolve the dispute at hand in return for remuneration.  This agreement is separate from the parties’ arbitration agreement, and defines the rights and obligations of the parties and arbitrators vis-à-vis each other.


4. When institutional arbitration is agreed upon, the institutional rules are incorporated in the arbitrator’s contract. Most institutional rules prescribe certain procedures to follow as a part of the arbitrator’s duties, such as confidentiality, disclosing conflicts, adhering to timetables and maintaining impartiality and independence. 

Legal status theory

5. This theory states that duties of an arbitrator is quasi-judicial derived from the applicable law and is similar to the position of judges.6 Courts in a number of jurisdictions however have leaned towards the relationship being contractual.7 English courts have held that the relationship is a conjunction of contract and status.8

6.
However, most national arbitration legislations are silent on the status of the arbitrator or their duties.9 The UNCITRAL Model Law also contains very few references to duties of arbitrators.10

C. Ethics

7.
Several codes of conducts or ethics have been specifically designed for arbitrators.11 While non-enforceable, these recommendary guidelines are nevertheless influential.12 The recently issued draft Code of Conduct for Adjudicators in Investor-State Dispute Settlement released by the Secretariats of ICSID and UNCITRAL marks a continued push towards stronger ethical commitments by arbitrators, however this code is yet in a draft stage.13

III. Different forms of duties

8.
While the different sources prescribe different duties, it is commonly accepted that the most basic duty of arbitrators is to resolve the parties’ dispute.14 This requires maintaining due process, which includes ensuring impartiality and independence, jurisdiction and equality of arms.15 The arbitrators also have a duty to be free of corruption themselves.16


9.
Resolving disputes also requires enforceable awards.17 While controversial as to the extent of the duty to provide enforceable awards,18 commentators argue that this entails giving a reasoned award.19


10.
Many commentators state that there exists a duty of efficiency. The duty of efficiency is a balance between speed and providing an award that is accurate and acceptable by the parties.20

11.
Most sources of arbitrators’ duties impose differing standards of confidentiality.21

12.
Arbitrators’ contractual obligations generally include abiding by the mandate conferred by the parties, including abiding by the parties’ choice of law.22 It also requires maintaining accuracy and party autonomy, with a fidelity to the text and context and an aim to understand the events and how the legal norms apply to the concerned events.23


13.
A number of civil law jurisdictions authorise or obligate arbitrators to reach a settlement agreement between the parties.24 Settlement is relatively less frequent in common law countries.25


IV. Consequences of breach of duties

14.
Arbitrator duties are enforced via a variety of mechanisms depending on the procedural rules that govern the arbitration and severity of the breach, including removal of the arbitrator, loss of remuneration, prohibition from future appointments, and imposition of civil liabilities.26 Arbitrators may also be sued by the parties for breach of contract, however this is subject to the immunities provided to arbitrators in the jurisdiction.27 Serious breaches may also entail setting aside or annulling the award.28 See further Grounds of annulment in ICSID awards.
