How do I challenge an arbitration award in court?

Challenging an arbitration award in Illinois court is a two-step process. First, you must submit a petition to vacate or modify the award to the court, which should include the facts and circumstances surrounding the dispute, documents that support your position, and the grounds for challenging the award. Grounds for challenging the award may include fraud, corruption, or partiality of an arbitrator. The second step is for the court to review the evidence presented and to hear arguments from both sides. If the court decides that the award should be vacated or modified, it will issue an order to vacate or modify the award. If the court decides that the award should not be vacated or modified, it will issue an order affirming the award. It is important to keep in mind that arbitration awards can only be challenged in court in very limited circumstances, so it is important to consult an experienced attorney before initiating the challenge.
