Can arbitration awards be appealed?

In Kansas, arbitration awards can be appealed in certain circumstances. Under Kansas law, an arbitration award can only be appealed if the award was procured through fraud, corruption, or if the arbitrator acted beyond their authority or there was a legal error made in the arbitrator’s decision. If either of these circumstances arise, then the arbitration award can be appealed in court. The appellate court will review the evidence and the law to make a determination if the arbitration award should be overturned or upheld. However, it is important to note that appealing an arbitration award is not always a simple process. Because it is a legal process, it can be complicated and costly. Additionally, there is no guarantee that the court will overturn the arbitration award. Therefore, parties should think carefully before deciding to appeal an arbitration award as it is not always the best course of action.
