The New Jersey Voluntary Binding Arbitration Program Consent Form is a document used in New Jersey to settle disputes outside of court through binding arbitration. This form is used when parties agree to voluntarily submit a dispute to binding arbitration, which is a process in which an impartial third party reviews the case and makes a decision that is binding on both parties. There are three types of New Jersey Voluntary Binding Arbitration Program Consent Forms: * Consent to Arbitrate: This form is used when both parties agree to submit a dispute to binding arbitration. * Consent to Institute Mediation-Arbitration: This form is used when both parties agree to submit a dispute to mediation-arbitration, which is a process in which a mediator attempts to facilitate a voluntary settlement agreement. If a settlement is not reached, the mediator then becomes the arbitrator and makes a decision that is binding on both parties. * Arbitration Award and Final Settlement Agreement: This form is used to document the decision of an arbitrator and the parties’ agreement to abide by the decision.
