Uniform Arbitration Act

Missouri · Arbitration · §§ 435.012 to 435.470 · 27 sections

Overview

The Uniform Arbitration Act governs the private arbitration of disputes, making written agreements to arbitrate enforceable and providing the framework for carrying them out. It gives courts the power to compel or stay arbitration and to appoint arbitrators when the parties' own method fails, and it sets the procedure for the arbitration itself — notice of the hearing, the right to be represented by counsel, presentation of evidence and cross-examination, the arbitrators' authority to issue subpoenas and take depositions, and the requirement that the award be made in writing within a set time and delivered to the parties. It then defines the courts' limited role afterward, allowing an award to be confirmed, or vacated, modified, or corrected only on specified grounds, with judgment entered on a confirmed award and a defined right of appeal; certain agreements, including those contained in insurance policies, fall outside its reach.
