Introduction
How does the arbitration
process work?
When NCDS receives your
request, it will be forwarded to the
Lexus area office for response.
At the request of either party or the
arbitrators, NCDS may schedule
a technical inspection. This may
include an inspection of the vehicle
by an independent tech nical expert
with a Lexus representative present.
The technical expert will forward
his or her evaluation to NCDS.
An oral hearing will be held prior
to a decision being rendered. At
this hearing, all relevant evidence is
admissible. You and a Lexus repre
sentative will present both sides of the
case to the NCDS arbitrator(s). You
will each be given an equal oppor
tunity to give testimony and provide
documents. Then you will each be
given an opportunity for rebuttal.
After considering all testimony and
documents, the arbitrator(s) will
review the applicable legal standards
and render a decision within 10 days.
A settlement satisfactory to all parties
may be negotiated at any time during
the process.
