The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Eh, the kind of thing you're asking about is essentially fiction. Not that murder for hire isn't a thing, it's just that it doesn't work like anything you've read or seen in movies. It's one of those things where if you aren't part of a criminal enterprise, you aren't going to be able to hire someone, and you'll be hiring them from someone else in the same network.
So, in any semi realistic situation, there won't be any arbitration or argument. You fail, you fuck up, you die. Or, I guess, turn state's evidence, which is where what little about actual "contract" killing that's known comes from. It isn't like an actual contract.
Now, in fiction? Tons of options. Likely, you'd have whatever head of the crime network making the decision, maybe with other heads, maybe solo.
But, again, the term contract killing isn't exactly about a contract. There's not a formal arrangement involved. It's contract in the meaning of hired.
Dang I hope was hoping in addition to the black market, there was an underground judicial system.
You do understand that the black market isn't an actual place/thing? It's just a term used for spaces that facilitate the trade of illegal goods...
In the same way the black market is underground trade, so too would this court be an underground judicial system.
It used to be, though.
Not anymore at least
