In arbitration, the respondent is the party that is defending the claim. If one of the respondents has prayed for arbitration, the case will be referred, and the remaining party will become the respondent in the arbitration proceeding. The arbitrator will address the dispute outside of the court. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
