Does arbitration need to open a statement of defense?

Labor arbitration does not necessarily need to be held in court, and the specific situation depends on the specific situation. Under normal circumstances, labor arbitration only needs the award of the labor dispute arbitration commission, but when one party refuses to accept the award and brings a lawsuit to the court, it needs to be handled by the court.

1. Is it necessary to appear in court for labor arbitration?

If there is a dispute between workers and employers at work, and if workers feel that their rights and interests have been lost, they will often choose to defend their rights through legal means. Some workers have applied for labor arbitration, but the treatment after applying for labor arbitration is not clear. In fact, labor arbitration does not necessarily need to go to court, but needs specific analysis.

Because labor arbitration refers to the labor dispute arbitration award that the parties apply to the labor and personnel dispute arbitration commission for arbitration. According to China's "Labor Law" and other laws and regulations, only the parties who refuse to accept labor arbitration can bring a lawsuit to the people's court. Therefore, under normal circumstances, if the dispute between the employee and the employer is settled in the stage of labor arbitration, the labor arbitration only needs to go to the labor dispute arbitration committee. When one party refuses to accept the lawsuit, the labor dispute needs to be resolved in the court.

Legal basis:

"People's Republic of China (PRC) labor dispute mediation and arbitration law" forty-eighth.

If a laborer refuses to accept the arbitration award stipulated in Article 47 of this Law, he may bring a lawsuit to the people's court within 15 days from the date of receiving the arbitration award.
