What is a motion to modify or correct an arbitration award?

A motion to modify or correct an arbitration award is a formal request for the court to make changes to an award issued by an arbitrator or arbitration panel. In Indiana, a motion to modify or correct an arbitration award can only be made if the award is found to be faulty or unfair in some way. The court will only make adjustments to an arbitration award if the party asking for the modification can provide valid legal arguments for why the award should be modified or corrected. In order to make changes to an arbitration award, the party asking for the modification must file a motion with the court. These motions usually ask for particular sections of the award to be modified or corrected in order to reflect the parties’ wishes or to prevent potential harm. Once the motion is filed, the court will review the motion and determine the validity of the party’s request for modification or correction. If the court finds that the party has met its burden of proof and that the modification or correction is warranted, then the court will issue an order that will modify or correct the award as requested. If the court determines that the party has not met its burden of proof, then the court will deny the motion and the arbitration award will remain as is.
