Question

What form of arbritration refers to situations where local representatives agree to comply with the arbitraters decision before the proceedings?

Answer 1

Answer:

binding arbitration

Explanation:

Both parties agree to be bound by the decision of the arbiter and follow the recommendations/obligations stipulated by the arbiter at the end of the process.

That bound of the two parties makes it a binding arbitration.

As opposed to a non-binding arbitration where the result cannot be enforced onto the parties, a bit like a mediation.  The result is more like a discussion starting point towards a negotiation of the end of the conflict.
