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

A motion to limit the scope of an arbitration is a legal request made by a party involved in an arbitration process to the arbitration panel. This motion requests for the arbitration panel to narrow the scope of the arbitration proceedings in order to focus on a specific issue or subset of the issues in dispute. In Kansas, the motion to limit the scope of an arbitration must be made in writing and submitted to the arbitration panel before the arbitration hearing. Motions to limit the scope of an arbitration are typically based on one of two reasons: either one party believes the dispute does not involve all of the issues that were raised, or one party believes that the issues presented in the arbitration are beyond the scope of the arbitration agreement. In order for the motion to limit the scope of an arbitration to be successful, the moving party must demonstrate to the panel that its motion is reasonable and supported by evidence. The panel will decide if the motion is reasonable and will limit the scope of the arbitration accordingly. If the motion is granted, the panel will direct the parties to focus their evidence during the arbitration hearing on the specific issues that the motion was based on. This helps to ensure that only relevant evidence is used and that the arbitration process is efficient and fair for all parties involved.
