How to I challenge an arbitrator’s decision?

If you’d like to challenge an arbitrator’s decision in Oregon, you need to file a petition with a court of appropriate jurisdiction. You will need to explain in the petition why you think the decision made by the arbitrator should be overturned. You will need to provide evidence to make your case, and you may want to get legal help if it’s a complex matter. Once you’ve made your petition, the court will review the evidence provided and may consider the original documents, the arbitrator’s notes, and other pertinent material. The court may also consult with experts to help make a decision. The court will then issue a ruling and may uphold the arbitrator’s decision or declare it invalid or unenforceable. In some cases, the court may also modify the arbitrator’s decision or order a new hearing. This type of ruling is rare, however, and usually done in cases of extreme injustice or gross negligence. It is important to note that you may only challenge an arbitrator’s decision within a certain time frame. In most cases, this timeline is 30 days after the decision was issued. Before you challenge an arbitrator’s decision, it’s important to understand the law and consider the likelihood of success. Speak with an attorney if you have any questions.
