Syllabus

Arbitration; motion to vacate; timely; filed; electronic filing; clerk of courts; authority to reject filing. Trial court erred in refusing to direct clerk of courts to accept for filing appellant's motion to vacate an arbitration award and to place the motion on active docket. There was no court rule or law authorizing the clerk of courts to reject a timely filed motion to vacate on the grounds that the wrong defendant was named in the case caption. Consequently, the trial court also erred in granting appellees' application to confirm the arbitration award where there is a timely filed motion to vacate the award pending before the court.
