How does a securities arbitration decision become final?
A securities arbitration decision becomes final when all of the parties involved have agreed to the outcome. This is called a "consent award." In a consent award, both sides of the case agree to accept the decision given by the arbitration panel before a hearing is held. In some cases, the parties may decide to submit the dispute to a court for review of the arbitration award. However, this is only if they disagree with the outcome or believe that the arbitration process was not fair or did not follow the appropriate legal requirements. Once all of the parties have approved of the terms presented by the arbitrators and have submitted any necessary documents, paperwork, or other materials, the arbitration decision becomes final. This means that the decision is not subject to further appeal or review after the award is accepted. In addition, the decision is legally binding and cannot be changed or reversed. Once the arbitration decision is final, the parties must comply with the terms outlined by the decision. If the decision requires payment, the parties must either comply with the payment terms or appeal the decision to a court for a review. A failure to comply with the decision may result in legal repercussions or other consequences.
