1. An arbitrator may conduct an arbitration in such manner as the arbitrator considers appropriate for a fair and expeditious disposition of the proceeding. The authority conferred upon the arbitrator includes the power to hold conferences with the parties to the arbitral proceeding before the hearing and, among other matters, determine the admissibility, relevance, materiality and weight of any evidence.
2. An arbitrator may decide a request for summary disposition of a claim or particular issue:
(a) If all interested parties agree; or
(b) Upon request of one party to the arbitral proceeding if that party gives notice to all other parties to the proceeding, and the other parties have a reasonable opportunity to respond.
3. If an arbitrator orders a hearing, the arbitrator shall set a time and place and give notice of the hearing not less than 5 days before the hearing begins. Unless a party to the arbitral proceeding makes an objection to lack or insufficiency of notice not later than the beginning of the hearing, the party’s appearance at the hearing waives the objection. Upon request of a party to the arbitral proceeding and for good cause shown, or upon the arbitrator’s own initiative, the arbitrator may adjourn the hearing from time to time as necessary but may not postpone the hearing to a time later than that fixed by the agreement to arbitrate for making the award unless the parties to the arbitral proceeding consent to a later date. The arbitrator may hear and decide the controversy upon the evidence produced although a party who was duly notified of the arbitral proceeding did not appear. The court, on request, may direct the arbitrator to conduct the hearing promptly and render a timely decision.
4. At a hearing held under subsection 3, a party to the arbitral proceeding has a right to be heard, to present evidence material to the controversy and to cross-examine witnesses appearing at the hearing.
5. If an arbitrator ceases or is unable to act during an arbitral proceeding, a replacement arbitrator must be appointed in accordance with NRS 38.226 to continue the proceeding and to resolve the controversy.
