What kinds of disputes can be brought to arbitration?

Arbitration is a form of alternate dispute resolution, in which two parties bring their dispute to an impartial third-party for resolution. In North Carolina, parties to a dispute can agree to bring their dispute to arbitration, rather than to court. Arbitration is often quicker and less expensive than litigation. In North Carolina, disputes that can be brought to arbitration include: contract disputes, business disputes, labor and employment disputes, real estate disputes, consumer disputes, construction disputes, and personal injury disputes. Generally, only disputes which can be addressed in civil court proceedings can also be addressed in arbitration. The types of disputes that cannot be brought to arbitration include criminal matters, family law matters, guardianship matters, cases which require public court Hearings, cases involving significant public policy issues, and cases where arbitration would be contrary to public policy or the statutory law. When two parties have a dispute, arbitration can provide an efficient and cost-effective way to resolve the dispute. In North Carolina, parties can bring a wide variety of disputes to arbitration. However, there are some types of disputes which are not appropriate to be brought to arbitration, and parties should be aware of these types of cases before signing an arbitration agreement.
