N.J. Admin. Code § 12:105-5.1

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 9, May 6, 2024

Section 12:105-5.1 - Time

(a) The award shall be made promptly within the time limit set in the agreement between the parties or a mutually agreed upon extension but in no case more than 30 days after the closing of hearing.

(b) If a decision is not rendered after 30 days, it is the obligation of the parties to contact the board so it can attempt to expedite a decision. If a decision is not rendered after 60 days either party can request in writing that the hearing be voided and another arbitrator be selected by means of the normal selection procedure; such a request will be automatically granted unless the parties individually agree to an extended award date. If the board invalidates a hearing due to a late decision, the parties shall not be obligated to pay the arbitrator's fee.

(c) The arbitrator shall not release arbitration decisions for publication or distribution without the written consent of the parties.
