Arbitration

THE International Arbitration Center List.
2008-09-22 08:12:00
Was given this by Constance Kim, Los Angeles lawyer extraordinaire, a few months ago and then forgot all about it. Came across it today and realized how helpful it would be to our readers to put this online, so here it is. This is the most comprehensive list of international arbitration centers I have seen. Enjoy.
China Arbitration. When, Why, Why Not, And Where.
2008-09-01 06:59:00
Co-blogger Steve Dickinson recently wrote a column for the China Economic Review on the plusses and minuses of arbitration provisions in contracts with Chinese companies. The article is entitled, "Overseas arbitration and enforcing contracts in China," and, not surprisingly, it says that decisions on whether to arbitrate should be made on a case by case basis. Steve's article starts out by noting that written contracts are "essential" for protecting the rights of foreign companies doing business in China, but such contracts are of no value if they cannot be enforced. Steve then notes how foreign company distrust of China's legal system too often leads them to insist that any dispute be subject to foreign law and resolved outside of China even though doing this sometimes renders the contract "practically or legally unenforceable." Steve then sets out "three common dispute resolution disasters": Disaster 1: Exclusive jurisdiction in a foreign court. A Chinese supplier has...
Binding Arbitration = Financial Collapse of Business Sector

Arbitration is Unfair
2008-04-21 17:19:00
The Wall Street Journal reports today: “A suit against a leading provider of arbitrators raises issues that for years have been leveled against the organization and that could come into play more as debt-collection actions rise in a likely recession. In March, the San Francisco city attorney sued the National Arbitration Forum Inc. alleging that it ...
Twins' Promotion Of Liriano Could Net Him Earlier Arbitration
2008-04-13 16:37:00
Francisco Liriano is pitching in his first major league game in 19 months today, and Twins fans have to be excited by that prospect. However, as pointed out by Joe Christensen of The Star-Tribune, had the Twins waited longer to promote Liriano from the AAA Rochester Red Wings (where his service time clock was on hold), the lefty wouldn't reach the three-year arbitration benchmark until after the 2009 season. As it stands now, with two years and 32 days of service, Liriano will see his salary move beyond the $1MM mark at the end of this season. Posted by Matt Birt

Bruins, Wideman on course for arbitration?
2008-03-23 18:20:00
Fluto Shinzawa of The Boston Globe reports that the Boston Bruins would prefer to take pending restricted free agent defenseman Dennis Wideman to arbitration than ink him to a multi-year deal. Not because they want to be stingy with their only NHL-ready puck-moving blueliner, but because they want to determine if the 25-year-old’s breakthrough season was a fluke or not. The Bruins would like to see Wideman sustain his level of play for at least one more season before deciding to lock him up long-term. Wideman, who is expected to get a raise either way, has a few options at his disposal: “accept a one-year qualifying offer and hope he has another solid season in 2008-09; sign a multiyear extension; or go to arbitration.” His current comparables include Brent Seabrook of the Chicago Blackhawks, Brent Burns of the Minnesota Wild, and Niklas Kronwall of the Detroit Red Wings. They all earn at least $3 million per season. Of course, Wideman’s representatives w...
Disadvantages of Mandatory Arbitration
2008-03-13 16:53:00
Mandatory arbitration has its purposes and advantages. But in an employment dispute? I don?t think so. It has more disadvantages than it does good on the part of the employee. First, since arbitration requires confidentiality, the public will have no access to the records. How can we know of the irregularities conducted by an employer? Isn?t this important on the part of other employees or to aspiring job applicants?
Baseball players in arbitration average 120 percent increase (AP)

K-Rod takes loss in arbitration hearing with Angels
2008-02-23 12:08:00
Los Angeles Angels General Manager Tony Reagins pulled Rodriguez off the field during a morning workout to inform him the team had defeated the reliever in arbitration, meaning Rodriguez will receive $10 million this season rather than the $12.5 million he asked for according to the Los Angeles Times.And shed no tears for Rodriguez: He will receive a $3-million raise over his 2007 salary of $7 million. Repeated attempts to secure Rodriguez to a long-term deal have failed — he turned down an offer in the three-year, $34-million range after 2007.But neither Rodriguez, who can become a free agent after this season, nor Reagins said the arbitration decision would have an effect on future negotiations.

Wang loses but get $4 million from arbitration board
2008-02-16 14:31:00
Chien-Ming Wang lost his arbitration case against the New York Yankees Friday, but still got the second-biggest deal in history for a first-time, arbitration-eligible starting pitcher when he was awarded $4 million by a panel of three judges the New York Daily News reported. Wang had asked for $4.6 million in a Thursday hearing that lasted 4-1/2 hours. He made $489,500 last year. Dontrelle Willis is the only starting pitcher of similar service time to make more money than Wang — Willis settled his arbitration case for $4.35 million in 2006 after going 22-10 in '05 for Florida. Hard feelings sometimes develop following hearings. The player attends and must endure listening to the club's case against him, which is filled with reasons why he is not worth the money he wants. But Wang's agent, Alan Nero, said all the right things afterward and so did Wang.

Philly's Howard talks, just not about arbitration hearing
2008-02-15 20:43:00
Ryan Howard and the Philadelphia Phillies are scheduled for a salary arbitration hearing Wednesday in St. Petersburg. Howard is seeking $10 million; the Phillies have offered $7 million. But Howard talked with reporters after his workout at Bright House Networks Field. He just avoided specific questions about his contract status and the situation in general when he met the media Friday. "We're just going to wait and see what happens," Howard said. "But we can talk about spring training. . . . I'm focused here. I'm focused on trying to come out here and get better and get ready for the season. All the other stuff, the outside stuff, that's outside. But I'm here. I'm working and I'm going to try to be the best I can for the team."Phillies general manager Pat Gillick said he considered Howard's early appearance a good sign. Position players don't have to report until Tuesday."

Astros Beat Jose Valverde In Arbitration Case
2008-02-15 13:13:00
Another reliever bites the dust; Jose Valverde will receive $4.7MM rather than the $6.2MM he was after.  That $1.5MM could go toward another starter, as could another $2.15MM saved in the event the Astros beat Mark Loretta (I think they will).  Of course, the list of remaining free agent starters ain't pretty.  It shouldn't be on February 15th. Valverde is under the Astros' control through the 2009 season.  If he has another 40 save season, he can probably vault past $10MM for '09.
Rockies Win Arbitration Case Against Fuentes
2008-02-15 12:48:00
The Rockies beat Brian Fuentes in their arbitration hearing, with the panel choosing the team's $5.05MM figure over Fuentes' $6.5MM.  Can't hurt his trade value. Fuentes, a 32 year-old southpaw, is set to enter 2008 as a setup man for the first time in quite a while.  Given that this is his contract year, it's not ideal for him.  He'll get paid regardless, but I'm sure he'd prefer to hit the market with another 30 saves in his pocket.  Here's a look at the pecking order for saves on each of the 30 clubs. The Braves were interested in Fuentes in December, but didn't want to take on his entire salary.  The Mets and Red Sox also reportedly inquired that month.
Newmont: May Mull Arbitration If No Agreement With Indonesia
2008-02-15 11:38:00
Newmont Mining Corp. (NEM), one of the world's largest gold producers, will consider filing for international arbitration if it doesn't reach an agreement with the Indonesian government on the U.S. company's sale of a stake in a gold and copper mine, a company official said Friday. The Indonesian government Monday threatened to revoke Newmont's mining license at the Batu Hijau mine in the Sumbawa Island if it fails to divest its 10% stake to local authorities by Feb. 22. Newmont is obliged to divest itself of its majority stake in the mine according to the terms of a 1986 contract. Its failure to meet recent timelines prompted the government to send a letter to the company threatening to terminate the contract. Indonesia News Blog: http://indosnesos.blogspot.com-

Chien-Ming Wang said it took "one month" to forget his disastrous two starts against the Indians in the playoffs last October. He may have to relive the experience Thursday when he and the New York Yankees are due to clash in an arbitration hearing the New York Daily News reported. Barring an unlikely late settlement, Wang will be in the room at the Renaissance Vinoy Resort and Golf Club in St. Petersburg when his agent, Alan Nero, makes the case that Wang is worth $4.6 million while the Yanks try to convince a panel he should be paid $4 million. The Yanks likely will dredge up Wang's 0-2 record and 19.06 ERA against Cleveland as evidence against him. He logged only 5-2/3 innings in the two starts and allowed 14 hits and four walks. Wang seemed resigned to a hearing, though when someone asked about the possibility of the sides reaching a deal first, he said, "Hopefully." Asked if he was upset at the possibility of a hearing, Wang replied, "No."

Angels, K-Rod appear headed for arbitration
2008-02-12 12:51:00
The Los Angeles Angels and closer Francisco Rodriguez have made no progress in negotiations for a 2008 contract, and it seems almost certain the two sides will have to settle their dispute during a Feb. 21 arbitration hearing in St. Petersburg, Fla. the Los Angeles Times reported. "Sometimes you file for a trial, and that's what we did," said Paul Kinzer, Rodriguez's agent. "There's a philosophical difference between us and the Angels on where [Rodriguez's salary] should be, so we're going to let an arbitrator decide."Rodriguez, who made $7 million in 2007, has asked for $12.5 million and the Angels have offered $10 million, a $2.5-million gap that was the second-largest among arbitration filings, behind slugger Ryan Howard's $3-million gap with the Philadelphia Phillies. Rodriguez, 26, has a major-league-leading 132 saves over the last three seasons, with 40 or more saves in each of those years.
Youkilis, Red Sox avoid arbitration
2008-02-11 15:16:00
Coming off a season in which Kevin Youkilis earned his first Gold Glove — and backed it up with a nice offensive performance — the Red Sox first baseman will get a hefty raise in 2008 according to Boston.com. Youkilis agreed to terms Sunday on a $3 million contract for the '08 season, continuing the Sox' streak of never having gone to an arbitration hearing in the Theo Epstein era.But Youkilis did not get quite the raise he was hoping for, signing for less than the midpoint between the amount he asked for and the amount the Sox offered when the sides exchanged numbers Jan. 18. Youkilis, who turns 29 March 15, had asked for $3.7 million, and the team offered $2.525 million. Youkilis earned $424,500 last season, after the sides could not come to a contract agreement, leading the Sox to renew him at that number. This was the first time Youkilis was eligible for arbitration, which is an option for players who have from three years of service time to less than six years.

Arbitration hearing between Howard, Phils could get ugly
2008-02-10 13:41:00
The Philadelphia Phillies open spring training Thursday when pitchers and catchers officially report to camp in Clearwater, Fla. But the big date on everyone's calendar is Feb. 20, when the Phillies and Howard are scheduled for a salary arbitration hearing in St. Petersburg, Fla., if the sides can't reach a deal beforehand. The smart bet is they will have a hearing, and it may get ugly according the the Philadelphia Inquirer. Howard, 28, wants $10 million, which would be the highest figure ever awarded a player who won an arbitration hearing (Andruw Jones won $8.2 million from Atlanta in 2001). Alfonso Soriano got $10 million from the Nationals in 2006, but he lost his case after seeking $12 million. The Phillies have offered $7 million, which ties the most money offered to a player in his first year of arbitration. Howard wants much more than the seven-year, $85-million contract signed by Chase Utley. In a long-term contract, people with knowledge of the situation said Howard wou...
