B. Should an arbitrator and court be required to review an individual's economic circumstance to determine if the individual can afford arbitration costs once these costs are no longer speculative? C. Should courts and arbitrators consider that arbitration proceedings "have been had" when the arbitration 'proceedings are terminated by the arbitrators due to a party or both parties' inability to fund arbitration costs? D. Does the Federal Arbitration Act (hereinafter FAA) discriminate against individuals on the basis of economic circumstances? Does the FAA provide any modern mechanism or criteria to determine whether.an individual can afford arbitration costs? B. Should-an individual lose their home or be placed in • a Court Ordered- receivership if the individual cannot afford the cost of arbitration proceedings but can afford to fund common area repairs and replacements through a third party? 1.
