Under West Virginia law, when a securities arbitration decision is rendered, the parties to the arbitration are required to comply with it. The decision binds the parties to the arbitration and is enforceable in a court of law. Securities arbitration awards cannot be appealed or overturned unless the award fails to follow the law, or the arbitrator made an error of law or some other erroneous ruling, or the arbitrator exceeded his/her powers. Additionally, if there is evidence of fraud, bias, misconduct, or other irregularity on behalf of the arbitrator, the award may be subject to challenge in court. Securities arbitration decisions are binding and enforceable, and provide a speedy and cost-effective way to resolve disputes between brokers and affiliated financial professionals and their customers. It is important to note that all parties to securities arbitration must abide by the decision, and the decision cannot be appealed unless it fails to comply with applicable laws or there is evidence of fraud, bias, misconduct, or other irregularity on the part of the arbitrator.
