FAQ
Absent any agreement to the contrary, the statute of limitations for civil actions, by its plain terms, does not apply to an arbitration proceeding.
Section 29A(1) of the Arbitration Act states clearly that an award must be passed within a period of 12 months, with an extension of up to six months, if required.
It provides for a period of limitation of three years from the date when the right to apply accrues. Therefore, the Supreme Court has held that the period of limitation for application for appointment of an arbitrator under Section 11 shall be three years from the date when the right to apply accrues.
Time Limits. No claim shall be eligible for submission to arbitration under the Code where six years have elapsed from the occurrence or event giving rise to the claim. The panel will resolve any questions regarding the eligibility of a claim under this Rule.
Some disadvantages of arbitration include limited options for appeal, the potential for bias, possibly higher costs in certain cases, and a more limited discovery process.
Neither the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) nor the Revised Uniform Arbitration Act (RUAA) has a statute of limitations, so the arbitrator must look to state law to apply a time bar.
In addition, initiating the arbitration will not, by itself, satisfy the various statutory lawsuit limitations periods, which govern the time within which an “action” must be “commenced,” and apply to proceedings in court.
You can usually expect to hear the arbitrator's decision within 45 days of the arbitrator closing the proceedings. However, this timescale is usually set by agreement between you, the other party and the arbitrator.
As per Section 29A, arbitral awards should be made within twelve months of completing pleadings. This can be further extended by six months more with the consent of the parties. So, the upper limit is 18 months.
