Many business contracts contain what is known as an “arbitration provision.” The arbitration process is generally faster and less expensive than litigation in the case of a dispute. In most cases, parties to a contract must decide upon arbitration at the time the contract is made.
While some arbitration forums allow for court-type procedures and rules of evidence, many do not. Without common discovery (the process by which both sides are afforded the opportunity to examine all evidence pertaining to the case), parties to arbitration may not have access to all the facts that could help in resolving the dispute. Furthermore, arbitrators selected from pools such as the American Arbitration Association (AAA) tend to consist primarily of hourly defense lawyers.
It’s important to have as much information about the arbitrators’ pool as possible when making the decision between arbitration and litigation.
