When the parties refer a dispute to arbitration, they generally use a standard arbitration agreement. Very important issues such as the coaching or non-coaching of witnesses, the role of the party appointed arbitrators, the deadline for amendments to claims and for evidence, and possible sanctions for delaying tactics, frequently remain undecided and give rise to very serious problems. These Optional Additions draw the parties' attention to these delicate issues and offer alternative solutions to them.
