Is there a right of appeal in arbitration?

Yes, there is a right of appeal in arbitration in Virginia. This is known as post-arbitration review. After the initial arbitration process is concluded, either party (the claimant or the defendant) may petition the Virginia Circuit Court for a review of the arbitration award. The Virginia Circuit Court will review the award to ensure that the legal process was properly followed. The court may affirm, modify, or reverse the award based on its review. The court will not consider any evidence that was not presented during the initial arbitration. In order for the court to consider the appeal, all parties must have consented in writing to the post-arbitration review. The aggrieved party must have submitted their appeal within 30 days of the arbitration award. The court’s decision is final and binding on the parties. The post-arbitration review process allows parties to the arbitration to ensure that the initial process and the resulting award was properly handled. It helps to ensure that justice is served and that fairness is preserved.
