Re: Arbitration Award
No! You must move the court for a confirmation of the award and a judgment based thereon. Review California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1285 et sec.
Re: Arbitration Award
Most Arbitration Awards are binding. Some are non-binding. For binding Awards, a Motion has to be made at court to confirm the Award. Please contact me for free consultation.
Re: Arbitration Award
Thanks for your posting. Normally, an arbitration award must be filed with the court as part of a motion. Some arbitration agreements also give the parties a right to "do novo" an arbitration agreement within a certain period of time. I hope this helps, but if you do have any other questions, please feel free to email me.
