Syllabus

<p>Arbitration — Award—Partnership—Certainty of award.</p> <p>Where an agreement for arbitration provides that the amount found by the arbitrator shall be considered a debt presently payable for which judgment may be entered, an award which provides that to an amount found to be due other items shall be added without fixing their amount, is void for uncertainty.</p> <p>The very essence of awards is certainty. They are to put an end to controversy between the parties and are to be certain and final.</p>
