A(i) Customer Disputes

A(i).1. Should certain categories of claims (e.g., of a certain complexity or value) or customer dispute types (e.g., those involving institutional customers or holders of institutional accounts) be subject to different requirements under FINRA rules?

a. Should certain categories of claims or customer dispute types be subject to different procedural requirements under FINRA rules? What customer protection and fairness considerations should be evaluated?

For complex or unusually large claims, perhaps parties should be able to request a selection of arbitrators that all have had at least three cases go to an award after a final hearing.

If all parties have agreed to take FINRA arbitration off the table, I see no reason they should not be able to enforce such an agreement.

I see no reason to take any class of disputes out of FINRA arbitration.
