Can NCDS change the Arbitrators decision?
The simple answer is, “NO.” The Arbitrator alone is the decision maker. The Arbitrator is an independent, third party neutral, who has been trained as an Arbitrator and has sufficient subject matter knowledge to make a fair, impartial and reasonable decision. NCDS is a neutral administrator of the dispute resolution process. The function of NCDS is to provide a conduit between the Arbitrator and the parties for the transmitting of information, evidence, requests, and decisions. NCDS keeps the process moving forward under its Rules. NCDS is not the decision maker and cannot second guess an independent Arbitrator that has heard the proofs and evidence presented by the parties, has deliberated, and has made a decision.
