Arbitrators, unlike judges, are appointed by parties to resolve their transactional disputes. Because of such contractual appointment, arbitrators gain their authority from the parties, and thus must apply the law chosen by the parties to the dispute before them. However, there are overriding mandatory laws of other jurisdictions, that due to their imperative character may claim application to the dispute. The arbitrator, as a private adjudicator, has a duty to resolve a potential conflict that may arise between the law chosen by the parties and another mandatory law(s) that claims application and is not chosen by the parties.
