A claimant initiates an arbitration by filing a statement of claim that specifies the relevant facts and remedies requested. A respondent responds to an arbitration claim by filing an answer that specifies the relevant facts and available defenses to the statement of claim.

Arbitrators are compensated $250.00 for their services in each case. If a party requests three arbitrators then each arbitrator shall be compensated $100.00 for services. The fees shall be paid by the courts, and parties are not responsible for the arbitration fees.
