Arbitration basics

Some contracts contain arbitration provisions that either can or must be followed if the parties have a dispute at a later date. In this video Michelle reviews the basics of arbitration, when it can be used, how relates to the court system and how it works.

as a first time home buyer, i purchased a new construction slab home in GA. According to the Builders Warranty Century Complete, requires that i arbitrate to resolve the structural damages and defects due to poor workmanship and craftsmanship. I need to retrieve over $7500 in order to get the major issues replaced, one example is the slab concrete foundation was built uneven and the siding is directly on top of the slab with exposed wood half way around my home. the builder decided to use plumbing spray foam directly around the entire house to cover the exposed and uneven foundation. lit is a total mess. not only do i have this problem, i will definitely have a termite infestation in a year or so whenever the termites eat through the foam. the builder is denying the problems. Also, i have a water hammer in the walls, the banging is so loud you can hear it throughout the upstairs and downstairs when the water holes are turned on. The plumbing was done improperly, i have loose pipes in the water. Also, i have moisture streaks through the upstairs ceiling because there is a roof leak in the ceilings. The drywall is another problem, i have too many nail pops in the ceiling, walls etc.. framing and bubbles throughout sections of my home. The grading is bad, i have puddles of water idling over 24 hrs around the home after a good rain fall. also water doesn't pour away from my foundation to unto the slab and stay wet over 24 hours I live in Troup County GA... my home is 10 months old, my warranty is expired in Dec 2021, What can i do. I cannot afford an attorney or the fees to arbitrate, and i know the builders set up arbitration for that very reason. Can you help?, refer me to someone that i can speak with or assist with legal advice?

PS: Can i still arbitrate with a residential home builder after the warranty has expired? if so, how long, two years?

Thank you for your time.

Settling outside of public this week is good for all parties involved.

So my personal interpretation of thie word derived from this video is that a synonym for arbitration is translation, and with me as the arbitrator that means collecting fragments of information and describing truth without involving law. My simplified explanation is that arbitration is the topic of interest yet within this word I can still identify the word (bar). Avoid conflicting interests by being honest please.

This chair spin has sent me! 😂😂😂😂 I just discovered your channel today. New subbie here. Love this to-the-point explanation

I’ve been in arbitration before against an insurance company for an UIM case but they never even ended up taking my deposition ( just the interrogatories were taken). I was able to fully settle my case being unrepresented and received the UIM insurance policy limits for my family ( all three of us had claims).

Forced Arbitration should be banned, since people believe that arbitration always favors the business and not the consumers. In today's society, there should be a law to protect the consumers if they don't want to sign the MANDATORY Arbitration that most (if not all) businesses FORCE their customers to sign before providing services or products. Arbitration should be an OPTION and not a forced agreement for providing services. If the customers choose to opt out the arbitration, business CAN NOT refuse providing services/products to the customers. Customers believe that arbitration is an UNFAIR way to resolve a dispute and should be banned, since arbitration is always in favor to the businesses and not the customers. Arbitration could lead the businesses to believe that they can cheat or do any harms to the customers and can still get away with it, since they know that arbitration will prevent the customers from suing them; and if an arbitration is conducted, the business will always win anyway because the rulings come from an arbitrator instead of a judge, who uses a set of laws to rule and whose payment/salary is paid by the government. People look at arbitration as a wolf in sheep's clothing. Imagine if all businesses require the consumers to sign an arbitration to give up their rights ( i. e., cannot sue), and will not providing services/products until signing the arbitration, then it would be a disaster. If arbitration has to be in the contract, make it as an OPTION for the customers to opt out, instead of a requirement for providing services. Business dispute should be resolved under a court of LAW and not based on the BIASED subjective OPINIONS from the arbitration.

I have a insurance company ( auto adjustor from the other drivers side) lowballing my vehicle and using bad faith practices ( which you can't take to court in PA), the paperwork didnt have the appraiser signature ( required title 31: 62) and she lied about the inspection location ( not done at my home but just through photos). I had to fight to get both updated and changed and now one of the vehicle their comparing mine to
( after I researched the vin) is a totaled out vehicle at an action house.

I honestly don't know what to do at this point. I've contacted her supervisor ( whose on her side naturally) and I've filled a complaint at the insurance state department who can take up to 30 days just to get back to me

Can I file an property Arbitration claim at the court house ?...and how ?

To the World Championships in Wariewa Doping


Yoshihisa Hayakawa, an arbitrator at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), has ruled that he will be allowed to participate in the Beijing Games.
Pointed out that there was a "serious defect". On top of that, he pointed out "NO!" To participate in the world championships.
Why was such a ruling made? For some time, Mr. Hayakawa said, "I think that CAS ruling was wrong.
If I were an arbitrator, I would have made the opposite decision. "

"As far as the provisions of provisional suspension are read, malicious substances (trimetazidine) are unconditionally suspended.
There is no exception to exclude persons requiring protection (under 16 years old), and there is no comment that it will be treated specially.
Therefore, letting Wariewa participate does not fit the original purpose.
, WADA also points out that the regulations are misread. "
Although the exceptions are not clearly stated, CAS allows participation with its own interpretation.
This has led to various "tragedy".
Mr. Hayakawa pointed out that "Warieva is suffering from the double pain of suspicion of doping and antipathy to special treatment."
He concluded, "I don't think the world championships should be played."

I am a retired attorney who practiced law for 35 years. I do not recommend that anyone participate in arbitration. You need to remember that arbitrators make their living by constantly receiving referrals from one side in the dispute, so they can't afford to make that side angry.

Thank you for the informative video. I signed a contract that said that if the employer and I had any disagreements then we would have to go through arbitration. We have a disagreement but he gives many excuses for not wanting to go through arbitration. How can I force him to go through arbitration?

Can you please describe in a video what word cloning is in relation to the word arbitration; involved in cell phone agreements, and insurance policies? Thanks.

What if the person is facing financial hardship and the soul income comes from the employer?
Could the employer deduct the amount owed from the employee’s paychecks to repay the employer what ever the amount the employee owes to the employer who won the arbitration case?

[patrickobryant]

Lots of good information that I found to be very useful; However, in the actual contract there is a Arbitration clause from the other party. Also in the paperwork from the Courthouse thet are using has it too(ADR clause). The summons with complaint that was servered was in thier service for the law suit that the otherside initiated not me. So would I not have the right to have a " Motion to Compel Arbitration " filed becase they have already did thier Court filing and according to that Courthouse I have to file the Motion to Compel with the Judge in that Courthouse.

Case already been decided in court. Judge awarded me $1300. in Punitive damages. Other party appealed decision and is now wanting Arbitration. Court sent me papers to appear for Arbitration. Do I have to go

[joannroberts]

what if you are awarded in binding arbitration and told after the fact that you must sign a release and hold harmless agreement prior to receiving it? In other words why didn't they speak of these provisions prior to arbitration?

[bangtanlover]

To become an Arbitrator do I need to study History or which subjets are suitable to study?
