N.C. Canons of Ethics for Arbitrators Canon V
An arbitrator shall make decisions in a just, independent and deliberate manner.
A. An arbitrator shall, after careful deliberation, decide all issues
submitted for determination. An arbitrator may decide no other issues.
B. An arbitrator shall decide all issues justly, exercising independent
judgment, and shall not permit outside pressure to affect the decision.
C. An arbitrator shall not delegate the duty to decide to any other person,
unless the parties agree to such delegation.
D. If all parties agree to settle issues in dispute and ask an arbitrator to
embody that agreement in an award, an arbitrator may do so but is not required to
do so unless satisfied with the propriety of the settlement terms. Whenever an
arbitrator embodies the parties’ settlement in an award, the arbitrator shall state in
the award that it is based on the parties’ agreement.
