Arbitrators base their decisions on evidence.
The arbitrator will usually give a brief introductory statement, in which he or she will instruct the parties on how the hearing will be conducted. All persons who will be testifying generally will be sworn in. Each party will be given time to tell his or her side of the story and ask questions of the other persons there. Once everyone has testified and the parties have given the arbitrator all the evidence they want to submit, the arbitrator will close the hearings. After the arbitrator has closed the hearings, no new or different evidence will be accepted by the arbitrator.
