Should you use Mediation or Arbitration to resolve a dispute?
If you believe your claim or case can be settled with some help, you can consider requesting mediation. An impartial mediator helps both parties to reach a mutual agreement. In arbitration, an arbitrator reviews the evidence, hears from both parties and makes the legally binding decision. Appeals are possible but rare.
