About this template

What is this template?

This document is a formal arbitral award recording the final decision of a three-member tribunal. It contains specific sections for findings agreed upon by the primary arbitrators and a separate section for the presiding arbitrator's decision on deadlocked issues. It is not an arbitration agreement or a simple settlement agreement.

When should you use it?

Use this template when an arbitration regarding a guarantee has concluded and the arbitrators have reached different conclusions on specific points of law or fact. The nearest alternative would be a Standard Arbitral Award if all arbitrators were in full agreement.
