IM-10308. Arbitrators Who Also Serve as Mediators
This rule is no longer applicable. NASD IM-10308 has been superseded by FINRA IM-10308.
This Code will be superseded by the Customer Code (Rule 12000 Series) and the Industry Code (Rule 13000 Series) on April 16, 2007, for claims filed on or after that date. This Code will remain in effect, however, for cases filed before April 16, 2007.
Mediation services performed by mediators who are also arbitrators shall not be included
in the definition of "professional work" for purposes of Rule 10308(a)(4)(C), so long as the
mediator is acting in the capacity of a mediator and is not representing a party in the mediation.
Mediation fees received by mediators who are also arbitrators shall not be included in the
definition of "revenue" for purposes of Rule 10308(a)(5)(A)(iv), so long as the mediator is
acting in the capacity of a mediator and is not representing a party in the mediation.
Arbitrators who also serve as mediators shall disclose that fact on their arbitrator disclosure forms.
1 This IM will be renumbered as appropriate following Commission approval of the pending revisions of the Customer and Industry Codes, SR-NASD-2003-158 and SR-NASD-2004-011.
