Impossible. An 'Ex-Parte" hearing means that the other party is not present.
a party to an arbitration agreement may be compelled to arbitrate a dispute, if the agreement covers the subject matter of the dispute.
This is short for " ... show cause why the other party should not be held in contempt [of court]." In such a hearing, one party claims that the other party has violated a court order and should be required to show why the court should not hold her/him in contempt and, therefore, impose a monetary judgment or some other punishment.
Generally that means one party did not show up for the hearing so the other party won by default.
If they did then the hearing would not be "Ex Parte." For a legal definition of ex parte, see: http://definitions.uslegal.com/e/ex-parte/
Absolutely - but it is hard to get the court to believe that the other side did not get service when they claim they did. The presumption is that the return of service is valid and it is a difficult presumption to overcome.

Arbitration
A Cross-Notice is generally sent from one party in a legal dispute to the other party. It notifies them that an original Hearing will ALSO include another matter. For example - in Family Court, you may have a Hearing for Child Support and a Hearing based on a Motion for Contempt (your ex failed to comply with the last agreement). You have filed Discovery documents for the child support related part but your ex hasn't produced the documents you requested - so you filed a Motion to Compel Discovery - but the courts haven't ruled on it and you need the documents. You would file a Cross-Notice of Hearing to identify that you plan to take up the matter of the Motion to Compel Discovery during the Motion for Contempt Hearing so you can have the documents you need for the Child Support Hearing (assuming it occurs later).
