How do I challenge the jurisdiction of an arbitrator?

When you are a party to an arbitration case in Delaware, you may wish to challenge the jurisdiction of an arbitrator. This means that you are arguing to have the arbitrator removed from deciding the case. You can challenge the jurisdiction of an arbitrator by filing an objection in the arbitration proceedings. An objection must be filed in writing and submitted to the arbitration body if you are disputing the jurisdiction of the arbitrator. In Delaware, you can file this objection with the arbitration body, such as the American Arbitration Association (AAA). In your objection, you should explain why you do not believe that the arbitrator has the authority to hear the case. You should explain the reasons why you believe that the arbitrator lacks jurisdiction. In some cases, the arbitration body may decide that the arbitrator does not have jurisdiction and will need to appoint a new one. However, if it is found that the arbitrator does have jurisdiction, the case will continue with the same arbitrator. It is important to remember that any objections to the jurisdiction of the arbitrator must be filed before the arbitration proceedings begin. If you wait until the proceedings have already begun, the objection will likely be rejected.
