Don’t allow arbitrators to make the contract

By Patrick Bracher (ZA) on June 4, 2014

An arbitration clause should never be drawn so broadly that the arbitrator determines the wording of the contract.  Arbitrators should be asked to interpret contracts and not make them for the parties.

The consequences of such a broad arbitration clause could be that the arbitrator imposes contract terms on the parties which they would never themselves have agreed to.
