Abstract
The role of party-appointed arbitrators in three-arbitrator proceeding s has long been the subject of controversy. Specifically, to what exte nt-if any-is it permissible for the party-appointed arbitrator to enga ge in communications with the appointing parties' representatives and does such behavior compromise the obligation of the arbitrator to act with fairness? These and related issues were addressed in the recent S unkist case-which is examined here.
