7.01 Statutory Deadlines for Submission of Application to Vacate or Modify Award

James Valley Grain, LLC v. David, 802 N.W.2d 158 (N.D. 2011)

Motion to confirm arbitration award does not extend the 90-day period governing a motion to vacate an arbitration award.

James Valley sued David for improperly canceling contracts between the parties for soybeans. James Valley moved to compel arbitration, arguing that the National Grain and Feed Association (“NGFA”) Rules were incorporated into the contracts by the terms “Trade rules: NGFA” and the rules require arbitration. The district court ordered arbitration, finding that the arbitration clause was properly incorporated. The parties arbitrated the case and on June 22, 2010, James Valley received notice of his arbitration award. On August 31, 2010, 70 days later, James Valley moved to confirm the arbitration award.On September 21, 2010, the parties stipulated to David having seven additional days to respond to the motion to confirm the arbitration award. On September 28, 2010, David opposed confirmation of the arbitration award. James Valley responded that David forfeited these arguments because he did not move to vacate the arbitration award within the 90-day time period specified in N.D.C.C. § 32-29.3-23.
