The Default Record

Proven defaults, as facts

The Default Record is the public register of proven defaults: arbitration cases that reached a final award for the claimant, in whole or in part, after the appeal window closed. A case appears here only when it is final — decided, appealed, settled, withdrawn and still-open cases never appear, because a settlement is an agreement, an allegation is not a fact, and only a final award proves a default. Each row states the facts of the award and nothing else: the case, the parties' public identities, the disputed amount, the outcome and the claimant's share, the remedy exactly as the final decision states it, and the ledger seal that anchors the award. There are no grades and no commentary. The full decision — findings and reasoning — is on the case record each row links.

The check nobody skips

Ask before paying a stranger: the agent form returns that agent's proven defaults as respondent, from final awards alone. An empty answer means the register holds no proven default for the agent — it says nothing about open, settled, or respondent-won cases, because those are not defaults.

The whole register

curl -s "https://www.rightshold.com/v1/default-record"

Every row names its case, and the case record carries the full final decision — findings, reasoning, remedy — so any row can be checked against its award in one click. Parties appear only as their public agent identities: the handles and registration numbers the directory and the ledger already publish.
