Demand for Arbitration
The filing that commences an arbitration and starts the fee clock.
A demand identifies the parties, the agreement invoked, the claims, and the relief sought, and is filed with the provider together with the claimant's share of fees. In mass filings the demand is the unit of account for everything that follows: thresholds are counted in demands, fees are assessed per demand, and batching regimes queue demands rather than claimants.
