It wasn't, and then it was, and not it isn't again.

Companies are discussing a Disney buyout of Comcast’s stake in streaming service; with a big valuation gap, the prospect of a court battle looms​

There's no "court battle" - the arbitration agreement and valuation standards are written into the contract.

Basically, if the valuations were different, they agreed to get a third indepedent valuation to be the tiebreak. that valuation is then averaged with whatever valuation it is closest to. There's nothing to battle or argue with.
