The New York Award of Arbitrator is a type of arbitration used in New York State. This form of arbitration is an alternative dispute resolution method, where a neutral third party (the arbitrator) hears both sides of a dispute and makes a binding decision. The New York Award of Arbitrator is governed by the New York State Arbitration Law (NASAL). There are two types of New York Award of Arbitrator: a voluntary agreement and a court-appointed award. A voluntary agreement is where the parties involved in the dispute mutually agree to use a New York Award of Arbitrator. The parties must agree on the selection of the arbitrator, the process of arbitration, and the binding nature of the award. A court-appointed award is where the court appoints an arbitrator to hear the dispute and make a binding decision. This type of New York Award of Arbitrator is often used when the parties cannot agree on the selection of the arbitrator or the process of arbitration. The court will take into consideration the preferences of the parties involved in the dispute and then make a decision. The New York Award of Arbitrator is a legally binding process and the decisions made by the arbitrator are enforceable in court. The New York State Arbitration Law requires that the process of arbitration and the award be conducted and issued in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
