GR 9 COVER SHEET
Suggested Amendment

SUPERIOR COURT MANDATORY ARBITRATION RULES
MAR 6.2 – Filing of Award
(Authorizing party to seek order directing arbitrator to file award if not otherwise done in a timely manner)
Submitted by the Board of Governors of the Washington State Bar Association

Purpose: This suggested amendment would clarify that a party may seek an order from the court directing the arbitrator to file and serve the arbitration award should the arbitrator fail to do so within the period required by the rule. This situation is analogous to that described in the similar concurrent amendment to MAR 6.4. For more information, please see the statements of purpose for the concurrent suggested amendment to MAR 6.4.
