Question:
I have a monetary dispute with a friend, and we decided to take her to a Zabla Beis Din. After I chose my judge I had a change of heart and would like to choose someone else instead. May I do so?
Answer:
It depends on what stage of progress you’re in, in the court case. Once the arbitration document has been written and signed by the two sides, or a Kinyan has already been made, then one can no longer retract and replace his chosen judge. Prior to this point, you may.
