Can I appeal an arbitration award?

Yes, under the law in Oregon, you can appeal an arbitration award. An arbitration award is a binding decision, and it is important to note that it is not as easily overturned as a trial or other court decision. For a successful appeal in Oregon, a party needs to prove that the decision was based on a law that is unconstitutional, or that an arbitrator employed an incorrect process or reached an illogical conclusion. Additionally, the party appealing the award must provide evidence that the arbitrator was biased in favor of a particular side or party. In Oregon, the appeal needs to be filed within sixty days of the ruling in order to be considered. The party appealing the award must also provide the other side with a copy of the documents being used to argue for the appeal. This means that any kind of evidence or witness statements which can prove that an arbitrator was biased or that the ruling was based on an unconstitutional law must be submitted to the court. The appeal in Oregon is not heard in court, but rather by a three-member panel. It is important to note that the appeal panel cannot re-hear the case, instead it looks over the arbitration award and evaluates the legal issues the appeal is based on. If the appeal is successful, the panel may determine that the arbitration award, in whole or in part, needs to be overturned or amended.
