Tyler believed Jeff had withheld information about the car’s mechanical condition and should pay for the necessary repairs to replace the alternator. After arguing about the situation, they decided to let Justin, an independent third party trained to solve disputes between consumers, businesses, and casual sellers, develop a solution that would be acceptable to both sides. Justin decided that they should split the cost to replace the alternator. Tyler was not satisfied with the decision. Is he nevertheless bound by Justin’s decision?
