Rhode Island General Laws Title 28. Labor and Labor Relations § 28-9-17. Order confirming award

At any time within one year after the award is made as prescribed in § 28-9-16, any party to the controversy that was arbitrated may apply to the court having jurisdiction as provided in § 28-9-14 for an order confirming the award. Upon that application, the court must grant the order unless the award is vacated, modified, or corrected as prescribed in §§ 28-9-18 and 28-9-19, or unless the award is unenforceable under the provisions of § 28-9-13. Notice of the motion must be served upon the adverse party or his or her attorneys, as prescribed by law for service of notice of a motion upon an attorney in an action in the same court.
