FAQ

In non-binding ADR, the parties have agreed that the third party neutral may offer an opinion, but neither party is bound by that neutral's opinion. In other words, in non-binding ADR, if the parties cannot reach an agreement, they do not authorize the neutral to decide the outcome of the dispute.

The arbitration process may be either binding or non-binding. When arbitration is binding, the decision is final, can be enforced by a court, and can only be appealed on very narrow grounds. When arbitration is non-binding, the arbitrator's award is advisory and can be final only if accepted by the parties.

You Must Have the Intention to Agree to Arbitration. An Employer Cannot Force You Into An Agreement to Arbitrate By Fraud or Duress. Unconscionable Arbitration Agreements Will Not Be Enforced. Failure to Provide a Valid Jury Waiver.

Thus, in order for the Arbitration Clause to be enforceable, it must be clear that the parties mutually agreed to Arbitration as an alternate forum, that the parties are affirmatively waiving any right to proceed in State Court, and finally, that the parties are waiving a right to a Trial by jury.

The arbitrator's final decision on the case is called the award. This is like a judge's or jury's decision in a court case. Once the arbitrator decides that all of the parties' evidence and arguments have been presented, the arbitrator will close the hearings. This means no more evidence or arguments will be allowed.

The most common forms of ADR are arbitration, mediation, the rent-a-judge program, summary jury trial, and minitrial, although techniques can be combined to form hybrids suited to a particular dispute or legal jurisdiction.

Binding Versus Nonbinding Arbitration It may not be reviewed or overturned by a court except in very limited circumstances, such as when fraud or misuse of power has been involved. In nonbinding arbitration, either party may reject the arbitration award and demand a trial instead.

Arbitration, a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), is a way to resolve disputes outside the judiciary courts.An arbitration decision or award is legally binding on both sides and enforceable in the courts, unless all parties stipulate that the arbitration process and decision are non-binding.

Non-binding arbitration is used in connection with attempts to reach a negotiated settlement.Subsequent to a non-binding arbitration, the parties remain free to pursue their claims either through the courts, or by way of a binding arbitration, although in practice a settlement is the most common outcome.
