Generally when a case goes to arbitration there are no appeals and they loser can not file a lawsuit on the same matter. Both sides agreed to the arbitration and chose not to go through a court case.

their decisions.on to court with attorneys this cound be a 200k dollar legal battle spread over several yrs..

I really think this could have gone either way. It’s one of those cases where you could flip a coin with the arbitration panel.

Am betting this isn’t over yet…look for a lawsuit shortly.

A US court likely will give far more weight to Fields’ prior use arguments than the panel did.
