TRUE
Alternative Dispute Resolution (commonly referred to as "ADR") is any means of settling a legal dispute without actually going to court. Mediation is a very common form of ADR, as is Arbitration (binding or not). There are other forms as well, and many courts require that some form of ADR is attempted before the case goes to trial. ADR is especially helpful for simple cases that can easily be decided without a judge and jury. Most mediators/arbitrators (persons acting as the judge and jury in mediation or arbitration, respectively) are themselves retired attorneys or judges. ADR involves many of the same things you would do in court (e.g., filing a brief of your argument), but without the formality and cost.
No. The arbitration award would be void. Depending on whether the judge found the arbitration clause or the award itself void, the case may be sent back for arbitration or permitted to go to trial.
No choice but to go for a trial
Settlement, mediation, arbitration, dismissal, a stay.
The services of an arbitration attorney may be required when you are a party to a legal dispute that you wish to settle outside of Court. The arbitration attorney will represent you in a court-like proceeding, but without the high costs associated with a trial.
there arent an y trial versions for false flesh
No, if they do that, they are ignoring due process!
It is possible that a civil suit could be either voluntarily dismissed without prejudice to being reinstated or put on hold at the request of the parties and with consent of the court in order to permit the parties to have the matter resolved through arbitration. In addition many courts now have some form of pre-trial non-binding alternative dispute resolution processes.
false
If you agreed to abide by an arbitrated settlement then yes you do. If you did not, then you can then file to proceed to a civil trial.
Arbitration is generally much cheaper than the cost of going to trial. Many contracts require abitration and do not permit itigation in the courts.
There is a document you signed when you opened the account that said you would never sue but instead go through arbitration....in some cases it is a great alternative. But not in all cases. Giving up your right to a jury trial is the devils work, imho. If corporations can't find six good jurors that understand what is going on, imho they should not be doing it. Jurors are vital, if you care about people.
