Good afternoon, I am wondering if anybody has had experience with joining a party to a Fast Track AAA Arbitration. The situation I am facing is that I represent a builder. The arbitration was initiated by a homeowner. It was placed on Fast Track due to the fact that the claim is for less than $75,000.00. I want to add the home warranty company as a party to the arbitration, which was objected to by counsel for the homeowner. An arbitrator has been assigned to decide whether to add the home warranty company and a telephonic conference on this issue has been set. My questions are: 1) is there a specific standard that the arbitrator has to follow in order to make his decision on the joinder issue? 2) is there a possibility that the addition of the home warranty company to the arbitration will kick the arbitration out of Fast Track and into Regular Track proceedings? Any information is appreciated. [ESK SIGNATURE] Erum S. Kistemaker, Esq. [cid:image011.png@01CF8709.1AFEB7F0] Erum S.
