What is a motion to enjoin arbitration?

A motion to enjoin arbitration is a request to a court in Delaware to prevent an arbitration from taking place. This type of motion is usually filed in cases where a party believes that an arbitration would not be beneficial for them. This might include a dispute that involves very complex legal or factual issues, or if their opponent is attempting to use the arbitration process as a tool to gain advantage. A motion to enjoin arbitration may also be filed if the parties involved in the dispute can’t agree on the rules and procedures which the arbitration should be based on. In these cases, the party filing the motion to enjoin argues that the arbitration process is flawed because it does not take into account the interests of both parties, which is necessary for a fair resolution. In Delaware, if a court grants a motion to enjoin arbitration, it is usually because it believes that the parties would be better served through a typical legal process in which they can make their respective cases to a judge or jury. This is usually done when the court believes that there is an issue of fairness involved and that the arbitration process would be too costly and time-consuming. A court may also issue a motion to enjoin arbitration if it believes that the arbitration process lacks transparency and would not yield a fair result.
