What are the consequences of refusing the notice of arbitration?

Legal analysis: If the employer refuses to accept the defense and notice of hearing delivered by labor arbitration to the employer, the arbitration commission may announce the delivery according to law. Then the announcement may be invisible to the employer, so it will be regarded as that the parties have given up their right of defense, and the arbitration commission can make an award by default.

Legal basis: Article 36 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Labor Dispute Mediation and Arbitration Law. If the applicant refuses to appear in court without justifiable reasons or withdraws from court without the consent of the arbitration tribunal, it may be regarded as withdrawing the arbitration application.

If the respondent has been notified in writing and refuses to appear in court without justifiable reasons or withdraws from the court without the consent of the arbitration tribunal, it may make an award by default.
