Anulación de la Decisión Arbitral por el Tribunal

Explicación Simple

Si no estás de acuerdo con lo que decidieron en un arbitraje, puedes pedirle a un juez que lo revise. Hay varias razones por las que el juez podría anular esa decisión, como si los árbitros actuaron injustamente o si no había acuerdo para arbitrar.

Es como cuando en un juego de fútbol el árbitro toma una decisión que parece injusta y puedes pedirle a otro árbitro que revise la jugada para asegurarte de que se hizo lo correcto.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan y María tienen una disputa sobre un contrato. Fueron a arbitraje y el árbitro decidió a favor de María, pero Juan cree que el árbitro tenía un conflicto de interés. Juan puede solicitar al tribunal que anule esa decisión porque piensa que no fue justa.

Texto Original del Estatuto (Inglés)

42 Pa.C.S. 7314 - Vacating Award By Court (a) General rule.-- (1) On application of a party, the court shall vacate an award where: (i) the court would vacate the award under section 7341 (relating to common law arbitration) if this subchapter were not applicable; (ii) there was evident partiality by an arbitrator appointed as a neutral or corruption or misconduct in any of the arbitrators prejudicing the rights of any party; (iii) the arbitrators exceeded their powers; (iv) the arbitrators refused to postpone the hearing upon good cause being shown therefor or refused to hear evidence material to the controversy or otherwise so conducted the hearing, contrary to the provisions of section 7307 (relating to hearing before arbitrators), as to prejudice substantially the rights of a party; or (v) there was no agreement to arbitrate and the issue of the existence of an agreement to arbitrate was not adversely determined in proceedings under section 7304 (relating to court proceedings to compel or stay arbitration) and the applicant-party raised the issue of the existence of an agreement to arbitrate at the hearing. (2) The fact that the relief awarded by the arbitrators was such that it could not or would not be granted by a court of law or equity is not a ground for vacating or refusing to confirm the award. (b) Time limitation.--An application under this section shall be made within 30 days after delivery of a copy of the award to the applicant, except that, if predicated upon corruption, fraud, misconduct or other improper means, it shall be made within 30 days after such grounds are known or should have been known to the applicant.
