• Ch. 1: Arbitration: Generally

Text

In all cases where an award is presented to
any court of record for a judgment to be entered upon the award,
whether the reference was made by submission of parties, or by rule of
court, the adverse party may show cause against the rendition of the
judgment on any of the following grounds:
(1) The award or umpirage was obtained by fraud, corruption,
partiality, or other undue means, or the arbitrator showed
evidence of partiality or corruption.
(2) The arbitrator was guilty of misconduct in:
(A) refusing to postpone the hearing upon sufficient cause
shown;
(B) refusing to hear evidence material and pertinent to the
controversy; or
(C) any other misbehavior by which the rights of any party were
prejudiced.
(3) The arbitrator exceeded the arbitrator's powers, or so
imperfectly executed them that a mutual, final, and definite award
on the subject-matter submitted was not made.
