Requesting ADR in an Existing Appeal

In an existing appeal at the Board, the parties must jointly request ADR in a written document addressed to the Board's Chair and file the request in the appeal using the Board’s electronic docketing system (EDS). If the parties wish that a particular CBCA judge serve as their ADR Neutral, they should so state in their request to the Board’s Chair. Depending on caseload and availability, a determination will be made by the Chair as to whether a requested judge will serve as the ADR Neutral. If the request does not specify a particular judge, the Board's chair will assign a judge. Prior to the start of the ADR proceedings, the parties will be required to sign a written ADR Agreement that establishes guidelines for implementing the ADR.
