is this syntactically correct ?

"requiring that the dealer arbitrate its claim before a panel in Tokyo"

The panel arbitrates the claim. Not the plaintiff.

In the legal sense, "arbitrate" is used in the same sense as "litigate", i.e. to mean doing it as a party, as well as in the more common sense of making the decision. As we define it in Wiktionary:

1. To make a judgment (on a dispute) as an arbitrator or arbiter

2. To submit (a dispute) to such judgment
