Explanation of the Contents of the
Table Each box of
the table contains information about a separate arbitration. These
arbitrations closed on or after July 1, 2002, as a result of a
decision by the neutral arbitrator dismissing the claim, granting
summary judgment, or issuing an award after a hearing. Most of the
information is contained in a row along the top of each box. The names
of the attorneys are found underneath this row.
First, going from left to
right, along the top:
Date of Disposition:
The date of the neutral arbitrator’s decision.
Prevailing Party:
When the Claimant won after a hearing, "Consumer" appears. When
the Respondent won a summary judgment or other dispositive motion or
after a hearing, "Non-Consumer" appears. When the case was
dismissed by the NA for non-substantive reasons, "Not Applicable"
appears.
Amount of Award:
The amount of monetary damages, if any, awarded to the Consumer or
Claimant. The monetary award amount includes any costs awarded.
Second, below this line, the
names of the attorneys are listed in alphabetical order. Each person
is described as either the Respondent attorney or the Claimant
attorney. The names are based on the names listed on the demands for
arbitration, the returned List of Possible Arbitrators, and any
letters sent to our office by the attorneys in a case. In cases where the Claimants never had
attorneys and chose to represent themselves, we list only the names of
the Respondent’s attorneys. We do not list the name of the Claimant. |
