What is a motion to limit the scope of an arbitration?

A motion to limit the scope of an arbitration is a legal document filed by one of the parties involved in an arbitration in South Carolina. This motion seeks to limit the scope of the arbitration, meaning the dispute or issues that are to be resolved by the arbitrator. This motion may be brought forth for a variety of reasons, such as to narrow the scope of the dispute or to limit the issues to be addressed by the arbitrator. The party wishing to file the motion must provide evidence and argument that the issues that are the subject of the motion should be excluded from the arbitration. This may include evidence that the issues are outside the scope of what is being arbitrated, or that the issue could be better resolved by another court. The party opposing the motion can provide evidence or argument supporting the inclusion of the issue in the arbitration. After the motion is filed, the arbitrator will review it and hear arguments from both sides before deciding whether or not to grant the motion. If the motion is granted, the arbitrator will exclude the issue or issues from the arbitration. If the motion is not granted, the issue will be addressed as part of the arbitration.
