What not to say in arbitration?

Never say anything to an arbitrator unless you are 100% sure it is correct. If you don't know the answer to a question, simply say, I don't know the answer but will get it for you promptly. Arbitrators respect lawyers who can zealously advocate for their clients and work out procedural issues with opposing counsel.

FAQ

Arbitration is an ADR process where the parties present arguments and evidence to an independent third party, the arbitrator, who makes a determination. Arbitration is particularly useful where the subject matter is highly technical, or where the parties seek greater confidentiality than in an open court.

Arbitration is less formal than going to court, and you may represent yourself. However, you should keep in mind that arbitration is a legal proceeding that results in an award that is generally final and binding. Because your legal rights are involved, you may choose to consult with and be represented by an attorney.

The arbitrator listens to both sides, looks at the evidence you've sent in and decides what the outcome should be. In some cases, the arbitrator may choose to have several meetings with you both. When the arbitrator makes a decision, this is called an award and it's legally binding.

In simple terms, arbitration is the out-of-court resolution of a disagreement between two commercial parties decided by an impartial third party, the arbitrator.

Often, rules and awards are also available via the arbitral bodies' website. Westlaw's International Arbitration Materials provides access to cases, awards, rules, conventions, legislation, model laws, and more for practicing U.S. lawyers.

A claimant will typically start arbitration by sending a document known as a “request for arbitration” or a “notice to arbitrate” to its opponent.

Settlement by agreement is the cheapest option and gives you the most control. Both mediation and arbitration are expensive, and arbitration is usually binding, so the ultimate decision is out of your control.

If you lose the case, it's very hard to challenge a decision the arbitrator has made. You can't appeal if you simply disagree with the decision. If you think the case wasn't handled properly, you should get advice about what to do next. You may be able to make an appeal to court on a point of law.
