It’s not an “arbitrary tribunal” it’s an arbitration tribunal. Please correct the spelling.

Sole arbitrator means the arbitration panel has only one member.

Without knowing any details what can anyone say ? What is the dispute? What is the agreement? What are the clauses for disputes etc

If you don’t show up the arbitrator will not hear your side and in the future may pass an award against you.

Arbitration is a  process in which an independent person makes an official decision that ends a legal disagreement without the need for it to be solved in court.

He’s like a judge and his decision is binding and it’s like a court hearing though it’s more informal.

Agreed with u/nimbutimbu. However, let’s say that you have not consented to the appointment of a sole arbitrator, which in all likelihood would have been appointed unilaterally by the company, you can dispute the authority of the arbitration tribunal. The company cannot unilaterally (on its own) appoint a sole arbitrator without your consent. That’s the law.
