Can arbitration ever be filed after the statute of limitations has run?
Yes. Under Rule 1-2, if a matter is in litigation and it is determined that all parties are represented by signatory companies, arbitration must be filed even if the Statue of Limitations has expired. It must be noted though, that arbitration must be filed within 60 days of dismissal or the responding company will be free to assert the delay as an Affirmative Defense.
