more step to take before we all head off to court—arbitration.


Arbitration is a formal process that can require considerable time and money—but usually less than lawsuits, which motivates the board to resolve disputes before we reach this final step.


Arbitrators are usually highly trained legal experts who render final, legal decisions based on evidence and testimony. Only under limited circumstances can the arbitrator’s decision be appealed to the courts.


The board subscribes to ADR to conserve your resources. Clearly, the more steps we take, the more we have to pay. Fees for negotiators, mediators or arbitrators would be paid out of your pocket—in the form of assessments—and we’d rather avoid that whenever possible. ◆
