How do I challenge the jurisdiction of an arbitrator?

If you want to challenge the jurisdiction of an arbitrator in Ohio, you must do so in writing. This challenge should include a statement of the facts and arguments as to why the arbitrator’s jurisdiction is inappropriate. The challenge must also be signed by the person making the challenge. Once a challenge has been made, both parties can exchange written agreements and submissions about the dispute and the questions of jurisdiction. The arbitrator will then issue an opinion on the challenge, which is binding on the parties and can be enforced in a court of law. If either party is dissatisfied with the arbitrator’s opinion, they can file an appeal with the court. The court will then review the challenge, taking into account the merits of the dispute and the parties’ arguments. If the court finds that the arbitrator’s jurisdiction was inappropriate, the court will direct the parties to proceed to a court of law. It is important to remember that the burden of proof for challenging the jurisdiction of an arbitrator is on the person making the challenge. They must provide evidence and argument to support their challenge, and the court will ultimately decide if the jurisdiction of the arbitrator was inappropriate.
