Re: CAS pulling out of construction disputes

More | Report Post

CAS has pulled out of construction arbitrations, it's on
their home page. Also a document was found online from a MN
Realtor's org showing that they are merely changing the
requirement there to arbitrate w/CAS, to National Center for
Dispute Settlement, NCDS, which is of course one of the
companies all owned by the same people as CAS, so it's not
really a change of arbitration firms. HADD has posted info
about this on its news page today, and their message boards
under Arbitration, also Home Warranties: hadd.com News post

RE: Arbitration Case Management Business for Home Warranty
Disputes and Private Construction Disputes

The purpose of this notice is to inform you that
Construction Arbitration Services ("CAS") has made a
strategic decision to permanently exit from the binding
construction arbitration dispute case administration
business effective July 1, 2009.

As a result, CAS is not accepting any new cases as of July
1, 2009. CAS will continue to administer cases existing as
of June 30, 2009 until such time as the arbitration process
is concluded.
