Rule 13.015 - COURT DETERMINES WHETHER CASE SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION(1) A case assigned to arbitration will not be removed without a declaration, motion, and order.(2) Only in extraordinary circumstances will the court order a case returned from arbitration to the court docket after a case has been assigned to an arbitrator.(3) In the event that amended pleadings are allowed by the arbitrator (e.g., amended complaint, third party complaint, etc.), in which a party or parties will be added to the case, or which causes the case not to be subject to mandatory arbitration, the party submitting the amended pleading for filing shall notify the arbitration clerk in the office of the trial court administrator. These cases, when appropriate, may be returned to arbitration. In the event that the case is not thereafter subject to mandatory arbitration, the party requesting removal from arbitration shall submit for filing a motion to exempt the case from arbitration, or to remove it if it was previously referred to arbitration.Umatilla Supp. L.
