Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New Jersey
Dismissal of case
A case was arbitrated and an award made by the arbitrator. The parties to the case never moved for a trial de novo, and never submitted a consent order for judgement or confirmation of the arbitration decision and entry of judgement. Therefore the court dismissed the matter. Can this matter ever be reinstated again?

Re: Dismissal of case
You can do one of two things,one, file a motion to file a denovo out of time if you want the case to be reinstated or a motion to confirm the arbitration out of time if you were in favor of the award. The other method is to just file a motion to reinstate but the motion papers would pretty much contain the same legal argument. It is a very diificult burden to overcome if you are the one unhappy with the award.
