This is an example of how Mediation in Fort Lauderdale can work. It is not always done exactly this way. Please contact our office for details on how our mediation experts and specialists can help you.
Before filing an application, the parties involved are required to submit a matter to arbitration mediation with us. Arbitration mediation is binding and means each party is legally bound to the decision made by the Mediation in Fort Lauderdale. The agreement requires the party to submit disputes to arbitration based on the terms and conditions of the agreement that are made. Applicants begin the process by submitting an arbitration application, stating why the other party or parties owe them money. The Respondent or Respondents then submit their response. The response should explain why the respondent does not owe any money to the applicant. In addition, the Respondent’s Response can include a claim against the applicant. This response is known as a counterclaim.
Parties submitting the application or response(s) have the right to submit proof or evidence supporting their position. The claim will be assigned to a Mediator in Fort Lauderdale. Parties may request a hearing by phone when permitted. If the hearing is requested, the arbitrator will not make a decision until after the hearing. If no one requests a hearing, the decision will be made according to the application, response(s) and any evidence that is submitted as proof.
