Basic principles governing the proceedings
Filing a complaint and proceedings before the Financial Arbitrator are governed by the Financial Arbitrator Act and the Administrative Procedure Code:
- the Financial Arbitrator shall decide disputes based upon his/her best knowledge and belief, impartially, fairly, and without undue delays; therefore the Financial Arbitrator shall not pursue one party´s interests;
- all filings of the parties, protocols, records, written decisions and other documents form a part of the case file that both parties (i.e. including the institution) are entitled to review;
- the proceedings are not subject to a fee.
Important notice
Before filing a complaint please make sure that:
