yes, if one party to an arbitration procedure is dissatisfied with the arbitrator's decision, he or she has the right to appeal it to a traditional court. However, in the US the scope of judicial review of an arbitration award is very, very limited, with the scope of judicial review far more restricted than an appellate court's review of a trial court decision.
In an appeal of an arbitration, a judge will examine the award to see if it covered matters that were beyond the issues submitted, If the arbitrator exceeded his or her conferred powers in deciding the dispute, his or her decision can be overturned by a court. A judge will also seek to ascertain if there was any fraud, corruption, bribery, conflict of interest, bias, or other misconduct in the rendering of the award.
Also an award may be set aside by a court if there is sufficient evidence of an arbitrator's bad faith or misconduct. The refusal or failure of the arbitrator to hear relevant evidence will also be grounds for the reversal of an award, although these types of arbitrator misconduct are rare.

What else can I help you with?
What is opt out arbitration agreement?
An opt-out arbitration agreement is a contractual provision that allows parties to choose not to resolve disputes through arbitration, typically by providing a specific mechanism for doing so. In such agreements, individuals or entities have the option to reject the arbitration clause within a defined timeframe, enabling them to pursue litigation instead. This approach aims to give parties more control over their dispute resolution process while still offering arbitration as a primary option. Opt-out provisions are often included in consumer contracts, employment agreements, and other legal documents.

How many days for arbitration?
The duration for arbitration can vary widely depending on the complexity of the case, the rules of the arbitration institution, and the availability of the parties and arbitrators. Generally, arbitration can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months. Some cases may even extend to over a year if there are significant disputes or delays. It's essential to refer to the specific arbitration agreement and rules for precise timelines.
What are some alternatives to court?
Mediation and arbitration are some alternatives to court. Mediation--A process by which two people having a dispute agree to work together to settle the dispute with the help of an impartial 3rd party mediator. The process is usually inexpensive and has about an 80% success rate in civil matters. It is also confidential. Mediation is available through your local dispute resolution center--see the phone book. Also, from personal experience as a mediator, I can assure you that it will ensure that the parties to the dispute can remain civil to each other. Arbitration--A process by which the parties agree to plead their cases to an attorney or retired judge instead of in court. This is also inexpensive and saves a great deal of money over a court trial. Arbitration can be binding (cannot be appealed) or non-binding (can be appealed). Arbitration of disputes is usually done by the American Arbitration Association, National Arbitration Forum, or Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS). Arbitration sessions are closed to the public, however, any arbitration judgment may be entered into any court having jurisdiction.

What is an advantage of arbitration?
The main advantage is that the dispute involved may be resolved with the same degree of finality that litigation provides but within a shorter period of time and at a lower cost. The procedures inherent in arbitration generally follow those of the American Arbitration Association. They are faster and less formal than those in the usual litigation process and in some cases, particularly in complex commercial contract cases, result in a more satisfactory resolution of the dispute at hand. Another advantage is that the dispute will be arbitrated by an expert in the field of the dispute rather than by a judge who might or might not have as much expertise over the subject matter. The intricacies of the subject involved might be better understood because of that. See the related link below for more information about the American Arbitration Association.
