Are arbitration decisions by SMA members published?
Yes, the SMA publishes its members’ decisions as a matter of course in its Award Service. In New York, arbitrators explain the reasons for their decisions. If both parties do not wish the SMA to publish the award, they must so specify at the beginning of the arbitration proceeding. If one party does not want to reveal, in the Award, some information which it considers to be proprietary, the arbitrators will generally accommodate the party making such a request.
