Composition of the Panel Sample Clauses

The 'Composition of the Panel' clause defines how the members of a decision-making or adjudicative panel are selected and structured. It typically outlines the number of panelists, their qualifications, the method of appointment, and any requirements for impartiality or expertise. For example, it may specify that each party selects one panelist, with a third chosen jointly or by a neutral authority. This clause ensures that the panel is fairly constituted, promoting balanced decision-making and reducing the risk of bias or disputes over the panel's legitimacy.
