Once the arbitrator makes their decision on the claim, both parties then have the option to accept or reject it. If the decision is ultimately denied, the case can then be appealed.

If you are new to the DR Portal, please create an account. Login to the DR Portal and select “File a New Arbitration Claim” in the left column.
