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.
