                                 RULE MAR 6.2
                                FILING OF AWARD


    Filing and Service of Award. Within 14 days after the conclusion of the
arbitration hearing, the arbitrator shall file the award with the clerk of the
superior court, with proof of service upon each party. On the arbitrators
application in cases of unusual length or complexity, the arbitrator may apply
for and the court may allow up to 14 additional days for the filing and service
of the award. If the arbitrator fails to timely file and serve the award and
proof of service, a party may, after notice to the arbitrator, file a motion
with the court for an order directing the arbitrator to do so by a date
certain. Late filing shall not invalidate the award. The arbitrator may file
with the court and serve upon the parties an amended award to correct an
obvious error made in stating the award if done within the time for filing an
award or upon application to the superior court to amend.


[Amended effective September 1, 1993; September 1, 1994; September 1, 2011.]
