I completely agree with Cimon. If participants in mediation have followed all the steps of the dispute resolution process, mediation has failed, and the mediation committee recommends arbitration, is there any reason the arbitrators still need to vote on whether to accept the case? Can they not trust the mediation committee to make these referrals?
I agree with this completely.
Although I agree in principle, there is still a need to condider the workload that the arbitrators have, and the amount of time that they have to do it.
