How does a securities arbitration decision become final?

Securities arbitration in Indiana is a way for investors and businesses to resolve disputes without going to court. The process of arbitration is managed by regulatory agencies such as FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) or AAA (American Arbitration Association). A securities arbitration decision typically becomes final once all parties involved in the dispute have accepted the decision of the arbitration panel. If any party does not accept the decision, they may request review from the appropriate federal or state court. Once all parties accept the decision, the arbitration panel will issue a final, non-appealable award to the prevailing party. The party that has been awarded in the arbitration must submit the award to the regulatory agency that issued the arbitration in order to make it enforceable. Once the regulatory agency has received the award, it will publish the award and notify all parties involved that the arbitration has become final. The final arbitration award contains information that includes all of the parties involved in the dispute, the dates of the arbitration process and decisions, the relief granted, and the reasons behind the decisions made by the arbitration panel. The final award can also include an award of attorneys’ fees. Securities arbitration is a less time consuming and often less expensive process than filing a lawsuit. It is important to understand the process and how a decision becomes final in order to ensure that all parties involved in the dispute receive timely and appropriate resolution.
