What is a motion to vacate, modify or correct an arbitration award?

A motion to vacate, modify or correct an arbitration award is a legal document filed in a South Dakota court in order to challenge an arbitration award. This motion can be filed by any party involved in the arbitration process. It is used to challenge the fairness of the arbitration award and to argue that the award should be changed. For instance, if a party is dissatisfied with the arbitrator’s decision, they may file a motion to vacate, modify or correct the arbitration award. The motion must explain why the party is unhappy with the award, outline how the award should be changed, and explain why the court should act on the motion. The court will evaluate the motion and make a ruling. If the court agrees that the arbitration award should be changed, it will “vacate” the prior award and issue a new one. This new award may be the same as the prior award, but modified in some way according to the court’s ruling, or it may be an entirely new award. Ultimately, a motion to vacate, modify or correct an arbitration award is a way for parties to challenge arbitration awards that they believe to be unfair. The court will then review the motion and make a ruling accordingly.
