Chapter 467 - Unarmed Combat
CONTRACTS AND FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS
Section 467.103 - Arbitration: Contract; notice; procedure; telephonic appearance; hearing; evidence; right to attorney; immunity

1. A contract between an unarmed combatant and a manager that is executed and notarized on a form provided by the Commission may provide for binding arbitration of disputes. The Commission may, in its discretion, provide for binding arbitration on a contract that is not executed and notarized on a form provided by the Commission if the interested parties agree to binding arbitration.

2. A party seeking arbitration of a contract must initiate the arbitration process by serving a notice of arbitration to the other party or parties to the agreement by personal service or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. The notice of arbitration must describe the nature of the controversy and the remedy sought. After a party provides proof of service of the notice of arbitration to the Commission, the Chair shall, in his or her discretion, appoint a representative of the Commission to conduct the arbitration.

3. The arbitrator may conduct the arbitration in such manner as the arbitrator considers appropriate for a fair and expeditious disposition of the proceeding, in accordance with the following:

4. If a party to the arbitration seeks to make its appearance at the arbitration telephonically, that party must obtain permission from the arbitrator. Requests for telephonic appearances must be submitted to the arbitrator at least 48 hours before the scheduled start of the arbitration.

5. The arbitrator shall set a date, time, and location for the hearing and shall, not less than 5 days before the time of the hearing, give notice of the hearing. Unless a party to the arbitral proceeding makes an objection to lack or insufficiency of notice before the beginning of the hearing, the party's appearance at the hearing waives the objection. The arbitrator has the discretion to grant any continuance of the hearing.

6. The arbitrator may hear and decide the controversy upon the evidence produced although a party who was duly notified of the arbitral proceeding did not appear.

7. A party to an arbitral proceeding may be represented by an attorney.

8. An arbitrator acting in that capacity pursuant to this section is immune from civil liability to the same extent as a judge of a court in this State who is acting in a judicial capacity.
