Q: Will I receive a written decision from the beis din?
A: Beis din will usually provide a written copy of the decision to serve as proof of the ruling. On a routine basis, beis din is not required to explain the reasons for their decision. However, if the ruling is surprising, and the litigant feels he was judged unjustly, they should explain the reason to him. (C.M. 14:4)
Similarly, if the litigant requests that beis din write the decision to verify it, they should provide a written summary of the claims and the final ruling. Beis din would have to indicate permission to review their ruling; otherwise another beis din should not intervene. Especially nowadays that litigants come of their own accord and willingly accept the ruling through signing a binding arbitration agreement beforehand, the ruling must be upheld without question (Aruch Hashulchan 14:8; Igros Moshe C.M. 1:76).
