How can a party challenge an arbitrator’s decision in international litigation?

In international litigation, when two parties can’t resolve a dispute, they may turn to arbitration to settle the dispute. An arbitrator is a third party that listens to both sides of the dispute and then makes a decision. If one of the parties is unhappy with the arbitrator’s decision, they may have the option of challenging the decision in court. The ability to challenge an arbitrator’s decision depends on the jurisdiction in which the arbitration took place. In Delaware, there are certain grounds for challenging an arbitrator’s decision. For instance, a party may challenge a decision if they can prove that the arbitrator demonstrated bias or improper conduct or if the arbitrator failed to follow the applicable law in making their decision. Parties may also challenge a decision for procedural errors or lack of jurisdiction. If the party still wishes to challenge the decision, they will have to file a lawsuit in the appropriate court. The lawsuit must be filed within the statute of limitations, which is a certain amount of time that the party has to bring a legal action. In Delaware, a party has three years to challenge an arbitrator’s decision. If the legal action is not filed within the statute of limitations, the party may not be able to challenge the decision. The court will review the arbitrator’s decision and determine if it was made properly. The court may uphold the arbitrator’s decision, amend the decision, or overturn the decision. If the court upholds the arbitrator’s decision, the party will be bound by the decision and may have to pay their portion of any applicable costs associated with the arbitration process.
