Conn. Agencies Regs. § 10-153f-11 - Impartial arbitrator conduct, standards, and responsibilities
(a) Impartial arbitrators must continuously
demonstrate competence in labor relations, including procedural and substantive
matters, integrity, and neutrality.
(b) Except as otherwise provided, the Code of
Professional Responsibility for Arbitrators of Labor-Management Disputes
approved and published by the National Academy of Arbitrators is incorporated
by reference and is applicable to and shall govern the professional behavior of
impartial arbitrators.
(c)
Impartial arbitrators shall not solicit parties for selection to cases. An
impartial arbitrator must uphold the integrity of the profession and must not
advertise or solicit arbitration assignments.
(d) It is the responsibility of the impartial
arbitrator to schedule time commitments in a manner consistent with the needs
of the parties and the expeditious handling of disputes. Assignment to an
arbitration case must be declined if the impartial arbitrator is unable to
schedule or participate in a hearing within the statutory time
limits.
(e) All arbitrators are
responsible for providing the Commissioner with complete and accurate data and
for keeping the Commissioner informed of changes in personal status and
availability to arbitrate cases. Revisions regarding changes in per diem fee
schedules, biographical and availability data must be timely submitted. Before
acceptance of an arbitration case, an impartial arbitrator must disclose to the
parties and the Commissioner any personal or professional relationships or
other circumstances that might reasonably raise a question regarding the
arbitrator's impartiality. If the circumstances requiring disclosure are not
known to the arbitrator before acceptance of the case, disclosure must be made
when circumstances become known to the arbitrator. An impartial arbitrator
shall withdraw from an arbitration at any time the impartial arbitrator
perceives a conflict of interest.
