A couple of weeks ago we shared “What is Arbitration?”, now what are the advantages and disadvantages to Arbitration?
The following are a few advantages to Arbitration:
1. Arbitration can be more economical at times. The rules of discovery are a bit more relaxed.
2. Confidentiality. An order must be entered to make sure confidentiality will remain in place.
3. Flexibility. A neutral party is involved as the arbitrator. The choice between binding or non-binding arbitration is available.
The following are a few disadvantages to Arbitration:
1. No appeals. The arbitrator’s decision is final.
2. The arbitrator’s decisions are issued without review of the court.
3. Lack of formal evidence.
These are only a few factors to take into consideration before making a decision on whether to move forward to arbitrate versus any other alternative dispute resolution available. If you would like to know more, contact a San Diego personal injury attorney.
