Can an arbitration award be annulled?

Yes, an arbitration award in South Carolina can be annulled. An award may be annulled for a variety of reasons, such as if the arbitrator was biased or a party was unable to present relevant evidence. Additionally, if it is found that the award was procured by fraud, it is subject to being annulled. An annulment must be filed with the court within one year of the date that the award was rendered. An annulment will require evidence that the award is invalid. This evidence may include testimonies from witnesses, documents, or other relevant items showing that the award should not be enforced. The evidence must be presented in court for the annulment to be granted. If the court finds that the award should not be enforced, the annulment is granted and the award is nullified. It is important to note that if a party wishes to annul an award in South Carolina, they must do so quickly. If the annulment is not filed within the one year time period, the arbitration award is binding and cannot be challenged. Therefore, parties involved in arbitration should consult an experienced attorney to ensure that they can contest the award if necessary.
