I've been through arbitration once. It was with an apartment complex that refused to give me back my deposit because they "paid an outside company to come in and clean my blinds". They even provided a fake receipt from some company not listed in any phone book.
What they didn't know at the time is that my room mate was super hot and was wearing short shorts while cleaning the blinds. Me being who I am, I took some pictures of the event - her on her hands and knees cleaning the blinds, which we removed from the windows and had laid out on the floor. This was 1991, and the picture had a date stamp on it.
I won my $1200 deposit back, plus $1200 in damages because the apartment manager lied about everything AND provided fake documentation during arbitration.
The apartment manager was fired the next day.
