Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The procedure under the Arbitration Act requires that arbitration briefs be filed by each party to the arbitration, as mandated by another statute. Therefore, it was a procedural irregularity for Edward to allow only one party to file the arbitration brief and render his decision without providing an opportunity for the other party to do the same. As a result, his decision is likely to be set aside.
