Rule 96 Appointment of Arbitrator Under Delaware

When someone needs an arbitrator appointed under Delaware's Rapid Arbitration Act, they can go to the Court of Chancery to make that happen quickly. This is called a summary proceeding, which means it is a faster, simpler process than a regular court case.

The process starts by filing a petition with the court. The court then follows specific steps to move things along without the usual delays of a full lawsuit. The goal is to get an arbitrator in place so that the actual dispute can be resolved through arbitration rather than through the courts.
