# Setting Aside an Arbitral Award

## About this service

Against an arbitral award issued in Georgia the law leaves only one procedural remedy — setting it aside — and the grounds for that route form an exhaustive list. Articles 42 and 43 of the Law on Arbitration determine in which cases a court may annul an award, within what term a complaint may be filed, and how the examination can be stayed so that the arbitration itself eliminates the ground for annulment. Our service helps parties navigate this demanding stage correctly.
