Could Arbitration Help Recover Investment Losses?

In a pattern typical of downturns, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), the body that handles virtually all securities arbitration, has seen a significant uptick this year in the number of dispute-resolution cases filed. "When people open up their statements and they see a decline in value from the previous statement, it gives them pause to think about the conduct of their registered rep or their firm," says FINRA spokesperson Brendan Intindola.

As a result, investors who got burned are looking to collect based on what they consider to be irresponsible behavior by fund managers and investment advisers. Read More...

Jim Van Meerten, Author of a CAPS column on "The Motley Fool" website, suggests the medical profession take a lead from other white collar professions and adopt the practice of arbitration and mediation for resolving accusations of negligence.

Arbitration Vs. Mediation

Arbitration and mediation are both forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), a method for resolving disputes outside of the courts. While they are closely related, an arbitrator is appointed to make a final decision, while a mediator simply facilitates the resolution of a dispute.

 

Parties involved in mediation are not required to reach a final decision. However, binding agreements can be made if participants choose to contract an "agreement settlement."

 

Mediation or arbitration may be used instead of the traditional court system, however, both parties must first agree to either mediation or arbitration.
