In this increasingly ADR world, more and more cases are processed in an arbitration setting. What is the role of summary disposition/summary judgment in the arbitration context? Do arbitrators have the authority to grant dispositive motions? Can they do so without hearing testimony? Are dispositive motions appealable? Our panel of experienced arbitrators share their thoughts and reflections:
• Discover what the Revised Uniform Arbitration Act, the Federal Arbitration Act, and the rules of The American Arbitration Association provide.
• Learn effective and proper procedures for seeking and defending dispositive motions in arbitration.
• Hear when and why dispositive motions are granted.
• Find out why they are sometimes denied.
• Take home alternative procedures to achieve the same result.
• And more!
