Issue Before Arbitrator Clause Samples

The "Issue Before Arbitrator" clause defines the specific matters or disputes that an arbitrator is authorized to resolve in the context of an arbitration proceeding. This clause typically outlines the scope of issues—such as contractual disagreements, claims, or breaches—that may be submitted for arbitration, ensuring that only those topics explicitly identified are considered. By clearly delineating the arbitrator's jurisdiction, the clause helps prevent the introduction of unrelated or extraneous issues, thereby streamlining the dispute resolution process and providing clarity to both parties about what will be addressed in arbitration.
