What if we do not agree on an arbitrator?
The appointment of an arbitrator can be more complicated than selecting a mediator. After all, the mediator will not make a decision for you. The arbitrator will.
Closure is neater in arbitration when all parties agree to the arbitrator tasked with making a binding decision for them.
