12 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
representative will present both
sides of the case to the NCDS
arbitrator(s). You will each be
given an equal opportunity 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.
