What do you do if you feel that the arbitrator appointed to hear your dispute isn’t providing a fair and impartial atmosphere in which your matter can be heard? Can you challenge the Arbitrator before he or she makes the final decision in the matter? What cause is sufficient to have an arbitrator removed? As is the case with so many questions in the law, the answer is: it depends. For the most part, parties to an arbitration who feel there is cause to remove an arbitrator are better off if it is a proceeding under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or JAMS than if it a proceeding governed under the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) or the Revised Uniform Arbitration Act (“RUAA”).
