A Father Who Wanted to Help His Son and Signed Arbitration
Question
Peace and Blessing! I have a question: A father wanted to help his son in a dispute with his neighbors. One of the things he did was to sign an arbitration document in front of a specific judge. Now, the father sees serious problems in the conduct of that judge, and asks a. Does the signature obligate his son? b. Can the son claim to his father: ’I sent you to act for my benefit, and not to my detriment?’
Answer
Shalom!
Our teacher Rabbi A. Fried ruled that there is validity to the claim ’I sent you to act for my benefit, and not to my detriment.’
