Del. Rap. Arbit. R. 8
The parties are entitled to be represented at the Preliminary Conference, the Preliminary Hearing and the Arbitration Hearing by counsel of their choice. Counsel appearing in the Arbitration proceeding on behalf of a party shall promptly provide the Arbitrator and counsel for all other parties with their names, postal and email addresses, and telephone and fax numbers. A party electing to change counsel shall notify the Arbitrator and all other parties forthwith; a change of counsel by a party shall not operate to delay the Arbitration.
At least one representative of each party with an interest in the issue or issues to be arbitrated and with authority to resolve the matter must participate in the Arbitration Hearing, but a failure by any party to comply with this obligation shall not operate to delay the Arbitration nor to divest the Arbitrator of any authority, including without limitation the authority to proceed with the Arbitration Hearing in the absence of a party that has received notice of the date, time and location of the Arbitration Hearing, as provided in Rule 22.
