About this template
What is this template?
This document is a supplemental memorandum used to amend specific clauses in an arbitral award due to minor clerical errors. It is not a new award or an appeal, but a correction of a 'slip' to reflect what the arbitrator originally intended to write.
When should you use it?
Use this template when an arbitrator notices a clerical mistake after execution but before the award is enforced; use a formal Appeal or Challenge if the correction relates to the merits of the decision.

| AND I direct | Retroactive Effect | Orders that the award operates as if the corrected clauses were originally contained in the document instead of the mistaken ones. |
