Arbitration was the third story of the fifth series of Big Finish's Gallifrey audio series. It was written by David Llewellyn.

Publisher's summary
Romana's secret is in danger of being exposed by those she trusts, and the only hope of escape is through the Axis. But will Leela's forthright determination to see justice done, whatever the costs, mean their chance to get home will be lost forever...?

And if they are able to regain access the Axis, is the world they left behind any better than the society they have built here?

Time will tell.
