August 30, 2019 – Arbitrator Bias

“An informed person viewing the matter realistically and practically – and having thought the matter through – could not possibly conclude that an arbitrator is biased simply because he or she rules on a disputed matter against one party, even if that occurs on more than one occasions.  Ruling on a disputed issue is the essence of the arbitrator’s role.”
