§ 52.413

The arbitrators to an arbitration matter shall appoint a time and place for the hearing and notify the parties thereof. Upon application of either party and for good cause shown, the arbitrators shall postpone the time of the hearing. The arbitrators may adjourn any hearing, from time to time, as may be necessary. Any postponement or adjournment shall not extend the time, if any, fixed in the arbitration agreement, for rendering the award.(1949 Rev., S. 8156; 1969, P.A. 474, S. 1; P.A. 82-160, S. 153.)History: 1969 act deleted reference to extension of time 'as prescribed in section 52-416'; P.A. 82-160 rephrased the section.Cited. 138 C. 63. Fact that some of the parties, after due notice, ignore hearing does not affect validity of hearing or right of arbitrators to decide the dispute upon the evidence submitted. 146 C. 17. Taken with Sec. 52-416, this section permits parties to extend by writing time in which arbitrators must make their awards. 157 C. 362.
