Rhode Island Rejection of Arbitrators Award For Cases Certified To Arbitration Before January 1, 2014, is a process that allows parties to a certified arbitration proceeding to reject or contest an arbitrator's award. This process is available to parties who have had their dispute certified to arbitration before January 1, 2014. There are two types of Rhode Island Rejection of Arbitrators Award: the Motion to Vacate the Award and the Motion to Modify or Correct the Award. A Motion to Vacate the Award allows a party to challenge the validity of an award, while a Motion to Modify or Correct the Award allows a party to challenge the accuracy of an award. In order to successfully reject or contest an arbitrator’s award, a party must demonstrate that the award is not supported by the evidence or is contrary to the law, or that a material mistake of fact or law has been made. If the court finds in favor of the challenging party, it may reject or modify the award.
