Arbitrators in court: must they be required to testify?
Article Abstract:
Arbitrators should not be called as court witnesses in proceedings appealing an arbitration decision. Arbitrators should have the same privileges in this regard as judges. Calling arbitrators as witnesses undermines the arbitration process, which is meant to involve little reconsideration and ensure finality. Arbitration agreements should be constructed to outline grounds for appeal and prevent arbitrators from appearing in court.

Arbitrators generally find in favor of the employer in disputes involving electronic monitoring of employees in the workplace. The employee's privacy rights are outweighed by the employer's property rights. Employers should inform employees of the possibility of surveillance and should abide by collective-bargaining agreements limiting surveillance.
