What happens if a party fails to comply with an arbitration award?

If a party fails to comply with an arbitration award in Utah, there are consequences. The other party to the agreement is entitled to have the award enforced in a court of law, and can petition the court to do so. This is a formal process that requires a filing of a motion to have the award enforced. The court will then hold a hearing to determine if the award should be enforced. If the court determines that the award should be enforced, it will order the other party to take the necessary steps to comply with the award. If a party still fails to comply with the award, the court can take various legal steps to enforce compliance. This could include ordering the party to do what the award requires, or it could include fining the party for not following the award. The court can also garnish wages, bank accounts, or other assets owned by the party in order to enforce the award. It is very important to note that, by failing to comply with an arbitration award, a party can be subjected to serious legal consequences. It is highly advisable that all parties involved in an arbitration take the award seriously and comply with it in a timely manner.
