Michigan Arbitration Act

The Michigan Arbitration Act is a law that governs how disputes are resolved through arbitration in Michigan. Arbitration is a process where parties agree to have a neutral arbitrator decide their disagreement instead of going to court. The Act outlines the rules for conducting arbitration, ensuring fairness, confidentiality, and enforceability of arbitration agreements and awards. It facilitates a quicker, often less costly alternative to traditional litigation, while maintaining legal protections and clarity on how arbitration decisions are made and enforced in Michigan.
