Section 14.16 - Disputing the Arbitrator's Decision

(1) Technical Corrections . "Technical correction" means a non-substantive computational correction, typographical correction or other minor correction. If a party contends that a technical correction is needed with respect to any award issued by an arbitrator, that party shall, within ten business days of the mailing date of the award, request in writing to OCABR that such a correction be made specifying the technical correction requested, and stating briefly the basis for the belief that the requested correction qualifies as a technical correction. Upon receipt of such written request, OCABR may itself make the technical correction or may submit the request to the arbitrator for his or her decision as to whether the requested change constitutes a technical correction. Such request shall not stop the running of the 21 day appeal of award period specified in M.G.L. c. 142A, § 4.

(2) Appeals. A dissatisfied party may file an appeal within 21 days after the mailing date of the arbitrator's decision in superior or district court pursuant to M.G.L. c. 142A, § 4. The party requesting the appeal must notify OCABR if the appeal is allowed.
