Can arbitration awards be modified?

Yes, arbitration awards can be modified in the state of Washington. This can happen if the parties to the arbitration agreement agree to the modification and all parties sign the agreement. If a modification is not agreed to by all parties, one of the parties can file a petition in court to modify the award. If a court finds good cause for modification, it will modify the award accordingly. Another way for a party to modify an arbitration award is to show evidence that the award is not in compliance with the law or contains a mistake of fact. Upon review, the court may modify the award as necessary. In this case, the court will not consider whether or not the modification is in the best interest of the parties or if it will result in a fair outcome. Finally, a court may modify an arbitration award if it contains a mistake of law or is not the arbitrator’s interpretation of the facts. Here, the court will consider whether or not the modification is reasonable and in the best interest of the party or parties. If it finds that the modification is reasonable, it will modify the award accordingly. In conclusion, arbitration awards can be modified if the parties agree to it, or if there is evidence of an error in fact, mistake of law, or an incorrect interpretation of the facts. This can only occur if the court determines that modification is reasonable and in the best interest of the parties.
