The SCCA Committee for Administrative Decisions (the “Committee”) serves the purpose of giving parties in SCCA-administered and non-SCCA-administered cases where the parties have so agreed access to a neutral and highly qualified expert decision making authority that efficiently determines certain issues that arise in an arbitration proceeding.

 

The Committee includes high-level SCCA executives as well as neutral external members who bring an extensive amount of ADR and case administration experience to the decision-making process. The Committee is comprised of up to five Members. A minimum of three Members (quorum) must be present during the weekly Committee Meetings to hear and decide requests brought before it (the “Voting Members”). The Chief of ADR may ask for extraordinary meetings if and when the need may arise. Committee Meetings may be held in person, via video conference, by telephone, or any other appropriate means of communication. The current members of the Committee are:
