Is there a time limit for filing an appeal of a securities arbitration decision?
Yes, there is a time limit for filing an appeal of a securities arbitration decision in Texas. Generally, an appeal must be filed within 30 days after the issuance of the award. This time limit, however, is subject to certain exceptions. For instance, if both parties agree to an extension of the time limit, the court may grant additional time. In addition, if either party alleges that the Award was fraudulently procured, the 30-day limit does not apply. Instead, an appeal may be filed within a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 180 days, after the Award was issued. The Texas Supreme Court has also held that a party may file an appeal within a reasonable amount of time after the issuance of the Award if both parties agreed to delay the appeal period. The court will take all relevant factors into consideration when determining the reasonableness of the time limit. Finally, if the parties agree to arbitrate their dispute before the American Arbitration Association or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the time limit for filing an appeal may vary. Generally, these organizations provide their own rules and regulations governing the appeal process, including the time limits applicable.
