What remedies can an arbitrator award?

An arbitrator in Montana can award a variety of remedies to resolve a dispute. These remedies are typically set out in the arbitration agreement, but may be modified by the arbitrator depending on the facts of the dispute. The most common remedies that an arbitrator can award include monetary damages, which are compensatory payments to the claimant to make up for any losses or harm that has been suffered as a result of the dispute. The amount of damages to be awarded is normally determined by the arbitrator based on the circumstances of the dispute. Injunctive relief is another type of remedy that an arbitrator can award. This type of remedy requires the respondent to take, or refrain from taking, a certain action specified by the arbitrator. This remedy may be used to force the respondent to take a certain action in order to address a wrong that was committed. The arbitrator may also order specific performance, which is a court order that requires one of the parties to fulfill their contractual obligations. This remedy is often used when damages would not be sufficient to adequately address the problem. Finally, the arbitrator may order punitive damages to punish the respondent and deter them from engaging in similar harmful behavior in the future. This remedy is typically used in more serious cases and is based on the intent of the respondent.
