How do I challenge the jurisdiction of an arbitrator?

It is possible to challenge the jurisdiction of an arbitrator in Nevada. This must be done before or during the arbitration proceedings. To challenge the jurisdiction of an arbitrator, the party must file a petition with the court that is authorized to enforce the arbitration agreement and ask the court to review the arbitrator’s authority. The court will then assess if the arbitrator has jurisdiction and if they did not, the court can order a new arbitrator to be appointed. Different grounds may be used to challenge the jurisdiction of an arbitrator. This includes if the arbitrator was appointed in an improper manner, if they do not have the required qualifications, or if the arbitrator did not follow the applicable laws or procedures. Additionally, the court may find that the arbitrator’s jurisdiction was exceeded if they have taken on a matter or issues that are outside their jurisdiction or they have relied on evidence or legal arguments that are not permitted. Once a challenge to an arbitrator’s jurisdiction is accepted by the court, the court may decide to appoint a new arbitrator or rule that the arbitration should be terminated and allow the parties to take the matter to court. Therefore, it is important to challenge an arbitrator’s jurisdiction if you believe they lack authority or if they have exceeded their jurisdiction.
