Background
On January 31, 2025, the petitioners filed a petition asking the court to vacate an arbitration award. The opinion states that proceedings to vacate an arbitration award are treated similarly to a motion for summary judgment, which is a request for judgment based on the materials presented rather than a trial.
Court’s Order
The court ordered the petitioners to file and serve any additional materials supporting the petition by April 11, 2025. The respondents’ opposition, if any, was due April 29, 2025, and the petitioners’ reply, if any, was due May 9, 2025.
The petitioners also had to serve the petition, all supporting papers, and the order on the respondents electronically and by overnight mail no later than April 11, 2025. They had to file an affidavit confirming service by April 14, 2025. The order set procedures and deadlines; it did not rule on whether the arbitration award should be vacated.
