<h3>Description</h3>

<p>Currently one can't open Arbitration without first going through Mediation.</p>
<h4>Version</h4>

<p>Bisq v.1.2.9</p>
<h3>Steps to reproduce</h3>

<p>Alice and Bob enter into a trade and one of them opens Mediation. If for any reason the Mediator doesn't act, the traders can't move into arbitration.</p>
<h3>Expected behaviour</h3>

<p>After the locked payout becomes available (10 days for altcoins, 20 for national currencies) the user should be able to bypass Mediation and open Arbitration.</p>
<h3>Actual behaviour</h3>

<p>The user gets stuck waiting for Mediation. If for some reason the Mediator is unresponsive the user is left without option inside the software</p>
