Sprowl v. Kitselman

In Sprowl v. Kitselman, 267 N.J. Super. 602, 632 A.2d 540 (App.Div.1993), the Court stated that "if a late application to confirm the award is made prior to the entry of the order dismissing the case, the fifty-day provision may be relaxed unless good cause to the contrary is shown. If relief is sought after the entry of the order . . . the standards of R. 4:50-1 shall control." Id. at 607, 632 A.2d 540; A late motion for confirmation generally "promotes the finality of an arbitration award." Sprowl, supra, 267 N.J. Super. at 610, 632 A.2d 540.
