FAQ

Parties will need to provide material evidence during the arbitration process. Some arbitrators may require that some types of evidence (such as invoices, pictures, and party correspondence) be presented in a specific format, such as in a binder and labeled in a certain order.

Most arbitrators and academics have long understood that, absent terms to the contrary in the agreement providing for arbitration, the traditional rules of evidence do not apply, and certainly do not strictly apply, in arbitration.

All evidence must be taken in the presence of the arbitrator and all parties, except where any of the parties has waived the right to be present or is absent after due notice of the hearing.

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.

The rules of evidence are generally relaxed in arbitration as compared to court trials (e.g., objections not based upon claims of privilege are often overruled, subject to weight). Exhibits and documents already admitted in the record often do not need to be read verbatim by witnesses.

Your letter of arbitration should be concise, professional, and factual. Follow the standard business letter format, including your name and contact information at the top. Ensure that your writing is clear, and avoid using jargon or technical terms that may not be familiar to the reader.

Explanation: In an arbitration, the rules of evidence generally tend to be more relaxed when compared to a court trial. This more flexible approach is due to the fact that arbitration is intended to be a more efficient and accessible method of resolving disputes, as opposed to the formalities of court processes.

In order for the arbitrator to decide in favor of a party, the party must provide sufficient clear and convincing evidence to support their claims. This is known as meeting the “burden of proof.” The arbitrator will determine whether the party has met their burden of proof.

VALID ARBITRATION AGREEMENT In North Carolina, the court determines the validity of an arbitration agreement itself, while the arbitrator determines the validity and enforceability of the agreement containing an arbitration provision (N.C.G.S. § 1-569.6(b) and (c)).

The Federal Rules of Evidence govern the admission or exclusion of evidence in most proceedings in the United States courts.
