Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Arbitrators often need to resolve both factual disputes and interpret legal principles, similar to a judge in a court. Parties in arbitration can present alternative arguments, just as they might in court. However, unlike court decisions, previous arbitration decisions do not create binding precedents that must be followed in future arbitrations, as arbitration is generally a private process and decisions are not published or binding beyond the specific case.
