About the Code of Procedure
The FORUM Code of Procedure has been the guiding rule set for thousands of commercial and consumer disputes since 1986. Its precise rules govern all aspects of our arbitration process, from the initial case filing to the arbitrator’s decision. The Code of Procedure ensures all parties a fair, unbiased dispute resolution process. It empowers arbitrators to clearly and confidently render decisions that are based on the applicable law.
Rules and Ethics
Code of Procedure arbitrations are governed by specific, clearly-stated rules and decided by retired judges and experienced attorneys. All of the legal experts deciding cases under the Code of Procedure possess at least 15 years of legal experience. They adhere to the FORUM’s Code of Conduct for Arbitrators and base their decisions on applicable law.
Neutral and Independent
Our Arbitration Bill of Rights guarantees that parties to a Code of Procedure arbitration receive a fair hearing from an impartial arbitrator at a reasonable cost. Just as in court, parties may request relevant documents and information from the other party (discovery), and are entitled to the same range of legal remedies and awards. Our Statement of Principles illustrates how the FORUM, as a neutral administrator of arbitration proceedings, provides due process and remains neutral and fair.
