Can an arbitration award be annulled?

Yes, an arbitration award can be annulled in Florida. An arbitration award is an outcome or decision of an arbitration procedure, and it is possible for that award to be set aside if the award is found to be invalid. In some cases, a party to the arbitration may wish to have an award annulled if it is believed the arbitrator was biased or did not follow the correct process. Similarly, an arbitrator may decide to annul an arbitration award if it is believed it was based on errors or the facts presented were wrong. An application for an annulment can be made to the court or an arbitral tribunal, depending on the situation. When making an application, it is important to provide evidence supporting a conclusion that the award should be set aside. In Florida, annulment of an arbitration award must be done within 1 year of the date it was issued. The court may extend this timescale in certain circumstances. Also, if an application for annulment is successful then the court will go on to consider what action should be taken to remedy the situation.
