Consumer STATISTICS CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE PROVIDER ORGANIZATION REPORT (PDF FORMAT) The American Arbitration Association also makes the data used to generate the provider organization report available in spreadsheet format. Please note that each row of the spreadsheet does not equal one case ; each row represents an instance of a consumer or employee bringing a claim against the identified business. Therefore, if two consumers brought claims against a single business in a single case filing (such as two homeowners filing a single case against the same builder), there would be two rows in the spreadsheet for that case. Similarly, if a consumer brought claims against two businesses (for example, when a consumer files a claim against both a car dealer and the manufacturer), that case would receive two rows in the spreadsheet. To assist in identifying rows that relate to a single case, we have included a "Case ID" column. Rows with the same Case ID are from the same case. The current data file (Q2 2010) contains 64,400 records (rows) from 61,867 cases .
