List the target of an early dispositive motion in an arbitration
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the notice and the pleadings, list the claim, defense, or counterclaim the motion would target and the procedural step already reached. Do not write the motion and do not add a test the rule does not state.
- What the lawyer must review
- You decide whether to ask for leave to file the motion, and you write it. Rule R-34 says the arbitrator may allow the filing of a dispositive motion, and may rule on it, only if the arbitrator determines that the moving party has shown that the motion is likely to succeed and to dispose of or narrow the issues in the case. The arbitrator shall consider the time and cost of briefing the motion. Fees, expenses, and compensation associated with the motion may be assessed under Rule R-49(c). That likelihood and narrowing gate is the threshold the rule states. 9 U.S.C. § 2 makes a written agreement adopting these rules enforceable. It does not add a further test for the motion.
