Not in force

21.48.27. The decision rendered by a third-person decider is binding on the parties until, as applicable, a judgment by a court of general jurisdiction is made or an arbitration award is rendered on the same subject matter.

The parties to the dispute must comply with the decision so rendered on the terms and conditions indicated in the decision. Furthermore, the party that is required, under such a decision, to pay a sum of money must do so within the time determined by government regulation.

A sum that is unpaid at the expiry of the time limit bears interest at the rate determined by government regulation.

Any payment of a sum of money made in order to comply with a decision rendered by a third-person decider does not constitute an acknowledgement of debt, either as to its existence or as to its amount, nor does it constitute a waiver of the right to claim its total or partial reimbursement in legal proceedings or arbitration.
