WHAT HAPPENS IF THE MANUFACTURER DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE ARBITRATORS AWARD?
If the manufacturer does not comply with the award, you can enforce the arbitrator’s decision through the courts by bringing an action to confirm the award. This action must be commenced within one year of receipt of the decision. You should consult a private attorney if you wish to pursue this remedy. If you are successful, the Court will convert the arbitrator’s award into a court judgment and may award reasonable attorney’s fees. The court may also award reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred to enforce the collection of the award.
