(b) A motion under this section must be filed within thirty days after the movant receives notice of the award pursuant to section 52-407ss or within thirty days after the movant receives notice of a modified or corrected award pursuant to section 52-407tt , unless the movant alleges that the award was procured by corruption, fraud or other undue means, in which case the motion must be made within thirty days after the ground is known or by the exercise of reasonable care would have been known by the movant. (c) If the court vacates an award on a ground other than that set forth in subdivision (5) of subsection (a) of this section, it may order a rehearing. If the award is vacated on a ground stated in subdivision (1) or (2) of subsection (a) of this section, the rehearing must be before a new arbitrator.
