     [§658A-22]  Confirmation of award.  After a party to an arbitration proceeding receives notice of an award, the party may make a motion to the court for an order confirming the award at which time the court shall issue a confirming order unless the award is modified or corrected pursuant to section 658A-20 or 658A-24 or is vacated pursuant to section 658A-23. [L 2001, c 265, pt of §1]

 

Case Notes

 

  Circuit court did not err in confirming the remainder of a final arbitration award in its entirety even if the remedy provided in the award could not or would not be granted by the court because merits of the award were outside the scope of permitted judicial review.  139 H. 445, 393 P.3d 997 (2017).

  In judicial proceedings to confirm arbitration award, circuit court judgment properly included award of $1,692.80 in attorney's fees pursuant to §658A-25(c).  Although the award was mischaracterized, §658A-25(c) allows a court to award attorney's fees incurred in judicial proceedings to confirm an arbitration award when a motion to confirm award under this section is contested.  139 H. 445, 393 P.3d 997 (2017).

  Although insurer contended that because award had already been paid, motion to confirm the award had been rendered moot, as the plain language of this section requires the circuit court to confirm an award unless the award has been vacated, modified, or corrected, circuit court did not err in confirming the arbitration award.  122 H. 393 (App.), 227 P.3d 559 (2010).
