Is there a timeline for enforcing a securities arbitration award?

Yes, there is a timeline in place for enforcing a securities arbitration award in North Dakota. According to state law, the party seeking enforcement of the award must file a petition for enforcement in the appropriate court within three years of the award’s issuance. If the petition is not filed within this deadline, the award will not be enforced. The party can file the petition in the district court located in the county where the arbitration proceedings were held, or in the district court located in either the county where the respondent resides or the county where the arbitration award is being sought to be enforced. Once the petition is filed, the court may hold a hearing to decide whether the award should be enforced. If the court finds that the award should be enforced, the respondent has 60 days to appeal the decision. If the appeal is unsuccessful and the award is enforced, the prevailing party will be required to seek enforcement of the award through other legal means, such as garnishment or contempt proceedings. In summary, while there is a timeline in place for enforcing a securities arbitration award in North Dakota, those seeking to do so must take action within three years of the award’s issuance. If the petition is not filed in that timeframe, the arbitration award will not be enforced.
