Rule VI. The Award

    The decision of the arbitrators shall be expressed in a written award on the form prescribed by the standing committee, signed by the arbitrators, which shall include a brief explanation of the basis of the award and shall be submitted to the parties and the program administrator. If there is a dissent, it shall be signed separately but the award shall be binding if signed by a majority of the arbitrators. Unless the agreement to arbitrate or request for and notice of arbitration provides otherwise, the arbitrators may grant any lawful relief, including specific performance. An award may also be entered upon the consent of all the parties. Once the award is signed, the hearing may not be reopened except upon consent of all parties and the chair or sole arbitrator. The award may be confirmed, set aside, modified, or corrected only in accordance with chapter 682, Florida Statutes, as amended.
