Are there any grounds for setting aside an arbitration award?

In Ohio, there are specific grounds for setting aside an arbitration award. The most common grounds are: the award was procured by fraud or corruption, the award was the result of a partial or entire corruption of the arbitrator, or the arbitrator was influenced by bias or prejudice. Additionally, the award may be set aside if there was a gross mistake in the proceedings. This could be because the arbitrator exceeded his or her powers, the arbitrator failed to decide an issue, or there was an evident miscalculation of figures or an obvious omission of an essential term from the award. In order to set aside an arbitration award, the person seeking to set aside the award must file a petition with the court within 90 days of the award being issued. The court will then review the award and determine whether there are grounds for setting it aside. If the court finds that there are such grounds, the award will be set aside and a new arbitration hearing may need to be held. It is important to note that the grounds for setting aside an arbitration award are very specific and it is rare for a court to set aside an award. Therefore, it is important to be familiar with arbitration rules and laws in Ohio prior to entering into an arbitration agreement.
