Can I challenge an arbitrator’s decision?

Yes, you can challenge an arbitrator’s decision in Delaware. According to Delaware’s Yearbook of Arbitration and Mediation 2019, the Delaware Supreme Court reviews all arbitration decisions. If you believe that the arbitrator’s decision was incorrect or unfair, you can file a petition with the court to have it reversed. The court will review the petition and either keep the arbitrator’s decision, modify it, or vacate it. When filing a petition, you should include evidence that shows why the arbitrator’s decision was wrong. You should also include any and all relevant legal documents that back up your claim. The court will consider this evidence in making its decision. A petition to challenge an arbitrator’s decision can be time-consuming and expensive. Therefore, it is best to consult an experienced arbitration attorney to help you with the process. An attorney can help you argue your case before the court and provide valuable advice on how best to proceed. If the court agrees with your petition, you may be able to have the arbitrator’s decision reversed. However, if the court finds that the arbitrator’s decision was correct, you may be required to pay the other party’s legal fees. Therefore, consulting with an experienced arbitration attorney is important before filing a petition to challenge an arbitrator’s decision.
