Kung maaaring mabago ang desisyon sa arbitration

Dear Chief Acosta,
Maaari pa bang mabago ang desisyong ibinaba ng arbitrator sa ginawa naming arbitration ng aking kasosyo sa negosyo? — Jelly
Dear Jelly,
Para sa inyong kaalaman, sang-ayon sa Section 25 ng Republic Act No. 876 o mas kilala bilang “The Arbitration Law”:
“Section 25. Grounds for modifying or correcting award. - In any one of the following cases, the court must make an order modifying or correcting the award, upon the application of any party to the controversy which was arbitrated:
(a) Where there was an evident miscalculation of figures, or an evident mistake in the description of any person, thing or property referred to in the award; or
(b) Where the arbitrators have awarded upon a matter not submitted to them, not affecting the merits of the decision upon the matter submitted; or
(c) Where the award is imperfect in a matter of form not affecting the merits of the controversy, and if it had been a commissioner’s report, the defect could have been amended or disregarded by the court.
The order may modify and correct the award so as to effect the intent thereof and promote justice between the parties.”
Malinaw sa nasabing batas na maaari pa rin mabago ang desisyon sa arbitration kung naganap ang isa sa mga nabanggit sa batas.
