Arbitration?
Q. why do baseball players have to go through arbitration? and when are they eligible, and for how many years?
Asked by Fritz A - Fri Apr 25 09:45:06 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Arbitration is for players with between three and six years of major league service, along with a small percentage of those with between two and three years. No player MUST go into arbitration. For one thing, only the team can offer arb. For another, they can work out a deal through continued negotiation and never actually go before the arb board. As arbitration cases can be fairly contentious and lead to some bad blood, avoiding it (in favor of striking a deal) is widely preferred. Offering and accepting arbitration does extend the negotiation window. Arbitration can be offered to players with greater service time, but they can decline it. If arb is not offered to a free agent and he signs elsewhere, his former team is not eligible to… [cont.]

How do I file a demand for binding arbitration in Los Angeles?
Q. I have an auto accident/personal injury claim which the insurance company has sent to their law firm to handle. I only have a few days left before the statute expires and need to file for arbitration. Is there a form I'd use or do I just send a letter to the insurance companys' law firm? If so, what should be included in the letter? Lastly, am I responsible for contacting and selecting the arbitrator?

A. You usually can't demand binding arbitration on your own. If you have only a few days before the statute of limitations expires, then file a case in court immdeiately. Once that is done, you have satisfied the statute of limitations and you can go about negotiating an arbitration agreement.

How often does arbitration work?
Q. I am considering asking my car insurance company for arbitration based on the amount they are giving me for a total loss car. In your experience is it worth the time and money for me to go to arbitration, or should I accept 800$ loss of what I think I should be getting for my vehicle.

A. research the fair market value of you car. Look at www.kbb.com or www.edmunds.com for a rough estimate. That is all they will give you for it. If they are not giving you the "fair market value" then you can try arbitration, but it may not help.

Asked by nutstooand3 - Tue Nov 13 23:51:29 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Why yes, they do! While there may be some laws in some states regarding the qualifications to operate an arbitration company, there is no one agency for all 50 states. Worse, the courts favor arbitration as a way to reduce their own load and generally uphold the way things are done by arbitrators, even if the result is a direct contradiction of the law. Basically, the idea is that you contracted to have this character make the decision, so you are stuck with it even if it is irrational.

How much jail time is given when an individual loses an arbitration case against a credit card company?
Q. My best friend has been served with arbitration hearing papers about a credit card bill his parents stopped paying and we need legal advice.
Asked by Osaiah B - Mon Oct 6 14:51:37 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Zero. Credit Card defaults are a Civil matter and he can not go to jail for that. The only case he would is if there is fraud involved, but if it was fraud it would not be heard by an arbitrator it would be heard by a judge after he had charges filed on him. When he goes to arbitration and is found to owe the money he will have a judgment against him. Once that happens depending on his state they could Garnish his wages, attach his bank account or place liens against any real property.

Q. I know that the club offers arbitration at a minimum of 80% the player's salary, and the player submits a salary, but I have some other questions: 1. I thought that after arbitration, the player stays with the team for 1 year, but I always hear about arbitration raises. What are they? 2. I hear people say that some clubs can't afford arbitration.

A. 1. You can't become a free agent until you have six years ML service time. If you have three years service time (or you are classified as a Super 2 (as Lincecum is)), you are eligible for arbitration. Most clubs do not submit a salary cut to arbitration, hence the term arbitration raises. In arbitration, the player submits a number, the team submits a number - the arbitrator must pick one of those two numbers. So, a lot of time, the club submits a number that was greater than the player's prior year salary - so if if the player loses, he wins. 2.

A. I agree with Realtor.Sailor. The arbitration/mediation clause is there as an alternative means of dispute resolution. If you remove it, you would still be entitled to go to regular court to sue, so it is not like removing the clause prevents the relocation company from being dragged in to a potential legal battle should one arise. It seems to me that arbitration and mediation are a better way of resolving a conflict - cheaper and faster than going to court. I have no direct experience with a party trying to remove this clause, but it makes no sense to me.

What is arbitration when a collector sues a debtor to obtain a civil judgement for past due loan?
Q. Are the papers for this sent via the sheriff similar to a summons for small claims court? Also, what happens at the meeting if the debtor is considered collection proof because they are only receiving social security disability benefits? Would the arbitration meeting agree to dismiss the interest on the money I owe, so that I can only pay monthly on the debt? In short, how is this all different from smalls claim court? Thanks Also, will the collector agree to waive a judgement if a monthly payment agreement on debt can be reached? Or once it reaches arbitration, does it automatically turn into a judgement if the debtor agrees they owe the money?

With respect to home improvement contracts what would define breach? And would breach negate arbitration?
Q. Home improvement contract had list of desired improvements. One was never completed and now we have problems with a window they put in less than one year ago due in part to faulta installation. Window manuf. is bankrupt and contractor will not replace. So one of the items they were supposed to do they did not. So does that constitute breach of contract and if so will that breach allow me to ignore the arbitration agreement on that contract and use small claims instead?

A. Yes, if they charged you for certain items and didn't complete them, that's a breach. If they did work negligently, that's a breach. If they installed a window which was defectively manufactured, that is probably not a breach. No, a breach does not allow you to ignore the arbitration clause.

Q. Home improvement contract had list of desired improvements. One was never completed and now we have problems with a window they put in less than one year ago due in part to faulta installation. Window manuf. is bankrupt and contractor will not replace. So one of the items they were supposed to do they did not. So does that constitute breach of contract and if so will that breach allow me to ignore the arbitration agreement on that contract and use small claims instead?

A. Yes, if they charged you for certain items and didn't complete them, that's a breach. If they did work negligently, that's a breach. If they installed a window which was defectively manufactured, that is probably not a breach. No, a breach does not allow you to ignore the arbitration clause. Good luck to you, Dana A (practicing attorney)
