Syllabus

R.C. 2711.09 R.C. 2711.13 arbitration award confirmation of arbitration award motion to vacate, modify, or correct arbitration award. Under R.C. 2711.13, a party has three months to move to vacate, modify, or correct an arbitration award. Thus, a trial court errs when it confirms an arbitration award prior to the three-month time limit when the party opposing confirmation appears and objects to confirmation and informs the trial court that it intends to file a timely motion to vacate, modify, or correct the arbitration award within the three-month time period. Thus, the trial court erred in this case when it confirmed the arbitration award just over a month after the arbitrator issued the final award and appellant appeared at a hearing and informed the trial court that it opposed confirmation and planned to move to vacate before the three-month time limit expired.
