The Pitfalls of Arbitration Administrator Rules
Bob has made his share of mistakes when it comes to drafting arbitration clauses. His excuse: “The law keeps changing and I can't instantly catch up.”
At least Bob understands that parties go to arbitration to get a final and binding award that the prevailing party can turn into a judgment.
