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.
