• The rules of the arbitration may be set in advance, agreed by the parties or set by the arbitrator. We or the arbitrator can suggest rules, if you wish.
• The arbitrator is a skilled practitioner who will decide the dispute and provide a reasoned decision, which will be final and binding on the parties and can be enforced through the courts.

What is Voluntary Arbitration?

• Arbitration is not limited to disputes where a contract provides for it. Any dispute can be arbitrated providing the parties agree to do so. Consequently, if parties wish to avoid the delay, expense, uncertainty and publicity of litigation through the courts, voluntary arbitration offers significant advantages. These include, most importantly, selecting the right person to decide the dispute and having that person manage the dispute efficiently and cost-effectively from start to finish.

The intention is to allow the parties to prepare and present their case and receive a fair hearing while resolving the dispute in an expeditious and cost effective fashion.

Juris will assist the parties to make arrangements for the hearing, including rooms, catering and any other requested services or equipment. The parties will contract directly with the providers for such services and be responsible for payment of same.
