Arbitration is an alternative dispute resolution which involves disputing parties who will present their disagreements to an unbiased third party for the objective of rendering a solution to the issue. Its purpose is to provide an incentive for the speedy, fair, and economical resolution of controversies by informal procedures while preserving the right to a conventional trial. The impartial Arbitrator makes a determination based upon evidence which is presented during the arbitration process. The arbitrator will then submit an arbitrator’s award to the court and the parties shall honor the valid award in accordance with that arbitration agreement. Should a party fail to honor the award, the other party may still seek relief from the courts. Unless a party has filed a written demand for a trial de novo within 30 days after the arbitration decision/award was filed with the Court, that decision/award shall become a final, non-appealable judgment of the Court.
