Uniform Arbitration Act, or common law rules governing arbitration, an arbitrator makes a decision which is binding on the parties. If conducted solely pursuant to Title 17 of the Maryland Rules, and there is no agreement to the contrary, the arbitration is non-binding and the parties may accept or reject the award.
The arbitrator decides the rules, weighs the facts and arguments of both parties, and then decides the dispute. Arbitration may be voluntary or mandatory.
Every arbitrator must be and remain impartial and independent of the parties involved in the arbitration. Before appointment or confirmation, a prospective arbitrator shall sign a statement of acceptance, availability, impartiality and independence.
Cons: Limited Appeal Options: One of the most significant downsides of arbitration is that it offers very limited options for appeal. Potentially Less Oversight: The informal nature of the arbitration process could lead to less regulatory oversight, making it crucial to choose a reputable arbitrator.
The only disputes which may not be determined by way of arbitration proceedings are matters in respect of any matrimonial cause (or incidental thereto) and matters relating to status, for example sequestration or liquidation proceedings.
