Revised Uniform Arbitration Act

North Carolina · 1 · §§ 1-569.1 to 1-569.9 · 31 sections

Overview

The Revised Uniform Arbitration Act governs private arbitration of disputes, setting out when an agreement to arbitrate is valid and enforceable and how courts and arbitrators divide responsibility over the process. It establishes the mechanics of an arbitration proceeding — initiating arbitration, appointing arbitrators and requiring them to disclose conflicts, consolidating related proceedings, allowing representation by counsel, and authorizing subpoenas, depositions, and other discovery — while granting arbitrators immunity and the power to order provisional remedies and award fees and expenses. It also defines the courts' role, providing for motions to compel or stay arbitration, judicial enforcement of an arbitrator's rulings, and confirmation, vacatur, modification, or correction of an award, followed by entry of judgment and appeal.
