angelique Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 I am filling out my Demand for Arbitration before JAMS. Can someone please tell me what to put on the section ELECTION FOR EXPEDITED PROCEDURES (COMPREHENSIVE RULE (16.1). TIA, Angelique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggie22 Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) If it's purely your claims against them, and no debt counterclaim is anticipated then the standard thinking is to check the box.If you expect them to counterclaim for the debt, then don't check the box.Later on down the road make sure if they are responding with a counterclaim for the debt that you object if they attempt to demand expedited procedures.Just my opinion...

That's why she's requesting arbitration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
