What is the process for submitting an award to a court following a securities arbitration?

The process for submitting an award to a court following a securities arbitration in Florida is the same as in other states. The parties in the arbitration must first agree to the award, which is then submitted to the arbitrator. The arbitrator then signs and issues the award. The parties can then apply to the court for an order confirming the award. The application will include copies of all the arbitration documents, including the award. The parties must also include an affidavit and a memorandum of law. This memorandum will generally explain why the award should be confirmed. The court will then issue an order confirming the award. Once this order is issued, the award becomes legally binding on the parties involved. After the court confirms the award, the parties can then enforce it, such as through a writ of execution or garnishment. In Florida, there is also a process for appealing the arbitration award. This appeal must be filed within a certain time frame, and parties must generally show that there was something wrong with the award or the process. If the court sides with the appellant, it can either modify the award, vacate it, or set it aside completely.
