Is a securities arbitration decision binding on the parties beyond the dispute at issue?

The answer to the question of whether or not a securities arbitration decision is binding on the parties beyond the dispute at issue depends upon the specifics of the case and the laws of the state where the dispute was heard. Generally speaking, in Oregon, securities arbitration decisions are binding on both parties, and can be enforced in court. The binding nature of the arbitration decision means that the parties are expected to abide by the decision’s terms and conditions, including any monetary awards or settlements, both in the immediate dispute and for any future disputes. However, if one or both of the parties appeal the decision, then the decision may not be legally binding. In addition, some states allow for a provision in the original arbitration agreement that states that the decision is not binding and that either party can seek legal action in the future. Finally, in Oregon, courts can review the arbitration decision and reverse it if it is determined that the decision was made in error or did not follow proper legal procedures. In this case, the decision would no longer be binding. Overall, securities arbitration decisions are usually binding on the parties beyond the dispute at issue, but in Oregon, the specifics of the case can have an effect on whether this is true. Ultimately, the best way to determine if the arbitration decision will be binding is to consult an attorney or legal professional.
