I own a property that had a 12,000 lien placed against it. During arbitration, the contractor conceded the release of the lien and promised to do so immediately. After the hearing he refused to do so. The arbitrator agreed to order the release of the lien in the award. The arbitrator is now not issuing the award until the budget is signed. The house is in escrow and I stand to lose 690,000.00 if the 'buyer' walks.
Do I have a case against the State who contracts the arbitration company? The Arbitration Company for breech? The contract with the Arbitration states no more than 30 days to issue awards. We are at day 27 with no award in sight.
