  1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, upon motion of a party to an agreement to arbitrate or to an arbitral proceeding, the court may order consolidation of separate arbitral proceedings as to all or some of the claims if:  (a) There are separate agreements to arbitrate or separate arbitral proceedings between the same persons or one of them is a party to a separate agreement to arbitrate or a separate arbitral proceeding with a third person;  (b) The claims subject to the agreements to arbitrate arise in substantial part from the same transaction or series of related transactions;  (c) The existence of a common issue of law or fact creates the possibility of conflicting decisions in the separate arbitral proceedings; and  (d) Prejudice resulting from a failure to consolidate is not outweighed by the risk of undue delay or prejudice to the rights of or hardship to parties opposing consolidation.  2. The court may order consolidation of separate arbitral proceedings as to some claims and allow other claims to be resolved in separate arbitral proceedings.  3. The court may not order consolidation of the claims of a party to an agreement to arbitrate if the agreement prohibits consolidation.  4. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, an arbitrator may not consolidate separate arbitral proceedings or other claims unless all parties expressly agree to the consolidation.

If the parties have not agreed on a method, the agreed method fails, or an arbitrator appointed fails or is unable to act and a successor has not been appointed, the court, on motion of a party to the arbitral proceeding, shall appoint the arbitrator. An arbitrator so appointed has all the powers of an arbitrator designated in the agreement to arbitrate or appointed pursuant to the agreed method.  2. An individual who has a known, direct and material interest in the outcome of the arbitral proceeding or a known, existing and substantial relationship with a party may not serve as an arbitrator required by an agreement to be neutral.  (Added to NRS by 2001, 1277)

2021 Nevada Revised Statutes|Chapter 38 - Mediation and Arbitration|NRS 38.227 - Disclosure of known facts likely to affect impartiality of arbitrator; objection of party based on disclosure; effect of failure to make required disclosure.

  1. Before accepting appointment, an individual who is requested to serve as an arbitrator, after making a reasonable inquiry, shall disclose to all parties to the agreement to arbitrate and arbitral proceeding and to any other arbitrators any known facts that a reasonable person would consider likely to affect the impartiality of the arbitrator in the proceeding, including:  (a) A financial or personal interest in the outcome of the arbitral proceeding; and  (b) An existing or past relationship with any of the parties to the agreement to arbitrate or the arbitral proceeding, their counsel or representatives, a witness or another arbitrator.  2. An arbitrator has a continuing obligation to disclose to all parties to the agreement to arbitrate and arbitral proceeding and to any other arbitrators any facts that the arbitrator learns after accepting appointment which a reasonable person would consider likely to affect the impartiality of the arbitrator.  3. If an arbitrator discloses a fact required by subsection 1 or 2 to be disclosed and a party timely objects to the appointment or continued service of the arbitrator based upon the fact disclosed, the objection may be a ground under paragraph (b) of subsection 1 of NRS 38.241 for vacating an award made by the arbitrator.  4. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, if the arbitrator did not disclose a fact as required by subsection 1 or 2, upon timely objection by a party and a determination by the court under paragraph (b) of subsection 1 of NRS 38.241 that the nondisclosed fact is one that a reasonable person would consider likely to affect the impartiality of the arbitrator in the arbitral proceeding, the court shall:  (a) Vacate an award made before the objecting party discovered such fact; or  (b) If an award has not been made before discovery of such fact, remove the arbitrator from the arbitral proceeding.  This subsection does not apply to an arbitral proceeding conducted or administered by a self-regulatory organization, as defined by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. § 78c(a)(26), the Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq., and any regulations adopted pursuant thereto.  5. An arbitrator appointed as a neutral arbitrator who does not disclose a known, direct and material interest in the outcome of the arbitral proceeding or a known, existing and substantial relationship with a party is presumed to act with evident partiality for the purposes of paragraph (b) of subsection 1 of NRS 38.241.  6. If the parties to an arbitral proceeding expressly agree to the procedures of an arbitral organization or any other procedures for challenges to arbitrators before an award is made, substantial compliance with those procedures is a condition precedent to a motion to vacate an award on that ground under paragraph (b) of subsection 1 of NRS 38.241.

  1. An arbitrator or an arbitral organization acting in that capacity is immune from civil liability to the same extent as a judge of a court of this State acting in a judicial capacity.  2. The immunity afforded by this section supplements any immunity under other law.  3. The failure of an arbitrator to make a disclosure required by NRS 38.227 does not cause any loss of immunity under this section.  4. In a judicial, administrative or similar proceeding, an arbitrator or representative of an arbitral organization is not competent to testify, and may not be required to produce records as to any statement, conduct, decision or ruling occurring during the arbitral proceeding, to the same extent as a judge of a court of this State acting in a judicial capacity. This subsection does not apply:  (a) To the extent necessary to determine the claim of an arbitrator, arbitral organization or representative of the arbitral organization against a party to the arbitral proceeding; or  (b) To a hearing on a motion to vacate an award under paragraph (a) or (b) of subsection 1 of NRS 38.241 if the movant establishes prima facie that a ground for vacating the award exists.  5. If a person commences a civil action against an arbitrator, arbitral organization or representative of an arbitral organization arising from the services of the arbitrator, organization or representative or if a person seeks to compel an arbitrator or a representative of an arbitral organization to testify or produce records in violation of subsection 4, and the court decides that the arbitrator, arbitral organization or representative is immune from civil liability or that the arbitrator or representative is not competent to testify, the court shall award to the arbitrator, organization or representative reasonable attorney’s fees and other reasonable expenses of litigation.

2021 Nevada Revised Statutes|Chapter 38 - Mediation and Arbitration|NRS 38.231 - Arbitration process.

  1. An arbitrator may conduct an arbitration in such manner as the arbitrator considers appropriate for a fair and expeditious disposition of the proceeding.

An arbitrator may decide a request for summary disposition of a claim or particular issue:  (a) If all interested parties agree; or  (b) Upon request of one party to the arbitral proceeding if that party gives notice to all other parties to the proceeding, and the other parties have a reasonable opportunity to respond.  3. If an arbitrator orders a hearing, the arbitrator shall set a time and place and give notice of the hearing not less than 5 days before the hearing begins. Unless a party to the arbitral proceeding makes an objection to lack or insufficiency of notice not later than the beginning of the hearing, the party’s appearance at the hearing waives the objection. Upon request of a party to the arbitral proceeding and for good cause shown, or upon the arbitrator’s own initiative, the arbitrator may adjourn the hearing from time to time as necessary but may not postpone the hearing to a time later than that fixed by the agreement to arbitrate for making the award unless the parties to the arbitral proceeding consent to a later date. The arbitrator may hear and decide the controversy upon the evidence produced although a party who was duly notified of the arbitral proceeding did not appear. The court, on request, may direct the arbitrator to conduct the hearing promptly and render a timely decision.  4. At a hearing held under subsection 3, a party to the arbitral proceeding has a right to be heard, to present evidence material to the controversy and to cross-examine witnesses appearing at the hearing.  5. If an arbitrator ceases or is unable to act during an arbitral proceeding, a replacement arbitrator must be appointed in accordance with NRS 38.226 to continue the proceeding and to resolve the controversy.

  1. An arbitrator may issue a subpoena for the attendance of a witness and for the production of records and other evidence at any hearing and may administer oaths. A subpoena must be served in the manner for service of subpoenas in a civil action and, upon motion to the court by a party to the arbitral proceeding or the arbitrator, enforced in the manner for enforcement of subpoenas in a civil action.  2. To make the proceedings fair, expeditious and cost effective, upon request of a party to or a witness in an arbitral proceeding, an arbitrator may permit a deposition of any witness to be taken for use as evidence at the hearing, including a witness who cannot be subpoenaed for or is unable to attend a hearing. The arbitrator shall determine the conditions under which the deposition is taken.  3. An arbitrator may permit such discovery as the arbitrator decides is appropriate in the circumstances, taking into account the needs of the parties to the arbitral proceeding and other affected persons and the desirability of making the proceeding fair, expeditious and cost effective.  4. If an arbitrator permits discovery under subsection 3, the arbitrator may order a party to the arbitral proceeding to comply with the arbitrator’s orders related to discovery, issue subpoenas for the attendance of a witness and for the production of records and other evidence at a proceeding for discovery, and take action against a noncomplying party to the extent a court could if the controversy were the subject of a civil action in this State.  5. An arbitrator may issue a protective order to prevent the disclosure of privileged information, confidential information, trade secrets and other information protected from disclosure to the extent a court could if the controversy were the subject of a civil action in this State.  6. All laws compelling a person under subpoena to testify and all fees for attending a judicial proceeding, a deposition or a proceeding for discovery as a witness apply to an arbitral proceeding as if the controversy were the subject of a civil action in this State.  7. The court may enforce a subpoena or order related to discovery for the attendance of a witness within this State and for the production of records and other evidence issued by an arbitrator in connection with an arbitral proceeding in another state upon conditions determined by the court so as to make the arbitral proceeding fair, expeditious and cost effective. A subpoena or order related to discovery issued by an arbitrator in another state must be served in the manner provided by rule of court for service of subpoenas in a civil action in this State and, upon motion to the court by a party to the arbitral proceeding or the arbitrator, enforced in the manner provided by rule of court for enforcement of subpoenas in a civil action in this State.

An award must be made within the time specified by the agreement to arbitrate or, if not specified therein, within the time ordered by the court. The court may extend or the parties to the arbitral proceeding may agree in a record to extend the time. The court or the parties may do so within or after the time specified or ordered. A party waives any objection that an award was not timely made unless the party gives notice of the objection to the arbitrator before receiving notice of the award.  (Added to NRS by 2001, 1280)

As to all remedies other than those authorized by subsection 1, an arbitrator may order such remedies as the arbitrator considers just and appropriate under the circumstances of the arbitral proceeding. The fact that such a remedy could not or would not be granted by the court is not a ground for refusing to confirm an award under NRS 38.239 or for vacating an award under NRS 38.241.  3. An arbitrator’s expenses and fees, together with other expenses, must be paid as provided in the award.  (Added to NRS by 2001, 1281)
