Legal Question in Construction Law in New Jersey

Re: Sue after arbitration?

Probably not, but I'd have to see the contract. You ALWAYS have to look at the contract, because typically you can contract away almost any right, unless prohibited by statute, it 'shocks the conscience' or is against public policy.

Re: Sue after arbitration?

Almost certainly. Arbitration clauses are valid and absent exceptional circumstances such as fraud in the making of the contract, they are enforceable. The only other out would be a statute or regulation that prohibited giving up the right to trial in this particular circuamstance.

You may need to consult iwth an attorney have them research the issue. Best wishes.
