U1] Contest arbitrator appointment if you can on the grounds of bias (most of these arbitrators work full time for banks and credit card companies).
2] Pursue for recovery of all costs + representation fees before the arbitrator. Unlike courts where only “advocates” can represent you and cannot charge a % of the outcome (champerty), there are no such restrictions for arbitration – you can even have your friend (or yourself) represent you during the proceedings and then charge “representation fees”. Make sure it’s “reasonable” but a large sum.
3] You can also pursue a counter claim before an arbitrator (or ask HC to appoint one) for abuse of process, personal injury, breach of fiduciary duty, etc.Good luck.
UI’m not a lawyer but I have fantastic experience self-representing myself with complex arbitration, securities, torts and so on.If you want me to, I can help you out for free. Draft the documents you’ll need including BSA 63 etc, you just need to register online for efilling of court documents, ask for exparte adinterim order for unfreezing of assets and make it clear in the petition that you don’t want to make any oral arguments and the court should rely on written submissions you have made.
First hearing – 1 or 2 days post filling of civil claim.
On the side note, I would also suggest that you sue those buyers for abuse of process and seek civil remedies for the same – you can include these claims in the same suit + it will cost them money to defend it.
Important: You can attend entire proceedings online.
Note: NALSA is supposed to help you if you qualify and you have a good prima facie claim (which I believe you may). They are just being lazy.
