Is there an appeals process for an arbitration award?

Yes, there is an appeals process for an arbitration award in California. This process is known as vacatur and is available under California’s arbitration law. Vacatur is a legal term that refers to the process of setting aside or vacating an arbitration award. This process is used when a party believes the award is not supported by the facts of the case or there was an issue with the arbitration process itself. In order for a party to vacate an arbitration award in California, they must fill out and file an application for vacatur with the court. The application for vacatur should provide detailed information and arguments as to why the arbitration award should be set aside. This includes an explanation of the facts of the case and how they were not taken into account in the arbitration award. It should also include copies of all the arbitration documents, such as the arbitration agreement, the arbitration award, and any other relevant documents. The court will then review the application for vacatur and determine if the award should be set aside or not. If the court decides to vacate the award, the parties must then begin the arbitration process again. If the court does not vacate the award, then the arbitration award stands and is legally binding.
