Standing Committee Comments (2015)

The claimant is the only party who may file a petition for No-Fault arbitration. In order to avoid confusion, the language "by either party" was removed.

Under Rule 5(e), the claimant will not be responsible to furnish a copy of the petition to the respondent.

The 20-day notification requirement was removed as it does not serve a necessary purpose.
