Back on topic ...
IBH ... The news media reports are elevating this group to the level of "court" and showing a "courtroom" with a "jury box" ... and thereby giving the group an appearance of some legitimate body to make decisions regarding people's "rights" ...
.. some of the suggestions in this thread as to "punishments" of persons participating in the "arbitration" system proposed and apparently used amount to violations of the Texas Penal Code not to mention the "cruel and unusual punishment" provisions and case law interpretation, which would be a violation of "public policy" and sufficient to "set aside" the "arbitration award" of the "tribunal" (group of arbiters)....which btw are consistent with some of the "punishments" being handed out by ISIS.
I can envision the Judicial System enjoining this group from conducting "binding" arbitration hearings that are not in compliance with arbitration standards set by statute and stated by "associations" overseeing arbitration proceedings in this country. Without going into details, various "rules" are required to be applied in arbitration proceedings, which would be construed as "due process" requirements. Courts are not bound by the litigants when deciding "constitutional" violations and can review them "sua sponte" when determining if there existed "fundamental error" in the administrative proceedings below.
