Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What's the difference between arbitration and mediation, and which one should I choose for my dispute?
Arbitration and mediation are quite different in their approach and outcomes:
Mediation is a collaborative process where a neutral mediator helps parties communicate and reach their own settlement. The mediator doesn’t make decisions but facilitates discussion. Choose mediation if:
- You want to maintain a relationship with the other party
- You’re willing to compromise
- You want more control over the outcome
- You prefer a less formal, more flexible process
Arbitration is more like a private court proceeding where an arbitrator hears both sides and makes a binding decision. Choose arbitration if:
- You want a definitive decision
- Previous negotiation attempts have failed
- You need a legally binding outcome
- You want to avoid the publicity of court proceedings
How much does dispute resolution really cost, and is it cheaper than going to court?
The costs vary but are generally lower than litigation:
Mediation costs typically include:
- Mediator’s hourly rate – please refer to fees schedule (give the link to the fees schedule)
- Administrative fees
- Venue charges as applicable
Arbitration costs typically include:*
- Arbitrator’s fees please refer to fees schedule (give the link to the fees schedule)
- Filing fees please refer to fees schedule (give the link to the fees schedule)
- Administrative costs please refer to fees schedule (give the link to the fees schedule)
While these amounts may seem substantial, they’re usually significantly less than litigation costs, which can easily exceed $50,000 and take much longer. Plus, the faster resolution time means less lost productivity and lower overall costs.
How long will the process take? I need this dispute resolved quickly.
Timeline expectations vary by process:
Mediation:
- Typically resolved in 1-3 sessions
- Each session usually lasts 3-4 hours
- Total time from start to finish: Usually 30-90 days
Arbitration:
- Preliminary hearing: Within 2 weeks of filing
- Discovery period: 2-3 months
- Hearings: 1-5 days
- Final decision: Usually within 30 days of hearing
- Total time from start to finish: Usually 3-6 months
Both options are significantly faster than litigation, which can take 1-3 years or more. However, complex cases may require additional time, and scheduling conflicts can cause delays.
What if the other party refuses to participate in mediation or arbitration?
Your options depend on your situation:
If you have a contract with an arbitration clause:
- The other party is legally obligated to participate
- You can seek court enforcement of the arbitration agreement
- The court can compel participation
If there’s no prior agreement:
- For mediation: Unfortunately, you can’t force participation as it’s voluntary
- Consider sending a formal invitation through a mediation center
- Have your lawyer send a letter explaining the benefits
- Consider court-annexed mediation programs where available
- As a last resort, proceed with litigation
Remember: Many courts now require parties to attempt mediation before trial, which can help bring reluctant parties to the table.
What happens if I'm unhappy with the outcome? Can I appeal?
Your options vary based on the process:
For Mediation:
- Since you control the outcome, you don’t have to agree to any resolution
- You can walk away at any time before signing the settlement agreement
- Once you sign the agreement, it becomes binding like any contract
- You can only challenge it based on limited grounds like fraud or duress
For Arbitration:
- Arbitration decisions are typically final and binding
- Appeals are very limited and only allowed for specific reasons such as:
- Arbitrator misconduct
- Corruption or fraud
- Evident partiality
- Arbitrator exceeding their powers
- Fundamental procedural unfairness
This is why it’s crucial to:
- Choose qualified neutrals
- Prepare thoroughly
- Understand the process before starting
- Have legal representation if the stakes are high
