About this template
What is this template?
This document is a final arbitral award issued by an umpire when a panel of two arbitrators cannot agree. It is not a settlement agreement or a court judgment, but a binding decision that must be filed in court for implementation. It specifically contains provisions for interest at a defined rate and the dismissal of counter-claims.
When should you use it?
Use this template when an arbitration process has reached a deadlock between two arbitrators and the presiding umpire must now issue a final binding decision. If the parties have reached their own agreement during the process, use a Consent Award instead.
