§ 1-569.26. Jurisdiction. (a) A court of this State having jurisdiction over the controversy and the parties to an agreement to arbitrate may enforce the agreement to arbitrate.
A court may vacate an award only if it finds that one of the limited grounds in the FAA (9 USC section 10) applies, namely: the award is a result of corruption or fraud; there was evident partiality or corruption by an arbitrator; there was arbitrator misconduct; or.
Notably, ing to Section 21 of the Arbitration Act, the arbitration proceedings commence when a notice invoking arbitration is sent by the Claimant to the other party within a maximum period of 3 years from the date of occurrence of cause of action.
An arbitration should only be commenced when a dispute(s) has arisen between the parties. Claims where there is no substantive defence, a respondent has failed to provide a response, or which are admitted (but unpaid) are still 'disputes'.
A party may compel arbitration as long as they have a valid and enforceable written agreement to submit a dispute to arbitration. Arbitration, and specifically the procedures for compelling arbitration, are governed by Code of Civil Procedure section 1280 et seq.
In forced arbitration, a company requires a consumer or employee to submit any dispute that may arise to binding arbitration as a condition of employment or buying a product or service. The employee or consumer is required to waive their right to sue, to participate in a class action lawsuit, or to appeal.
Therefore, a claimant in arbitration proceedings must commence arbitration within the same time periods as a claimant in litigation. In English law a contract claim has a limitation period of six years from the date of the breach of contract, unless it is made under deed, in which case the period is 12 years.
The petition must allege that there is a written agreement to arbitrate a controversy and that a party to the agreement refuses to arbitrate that controversy. (Code Civ. Proc., § 1281.2.)
Employers often include mandatory-arbitration clauses in their employment contracts, as do many companies that conduct business with consumers.
