PASS-07 through PASS-11, PASS-13, PASS-15, and PASS-16 remain unreviewed and are not adopted as accepted premises. Necessary award-stage statutes, court rules, administrator rules, and decisions were freshly read for this pass. This is not an independent review.\n\n**Component status:** **PARTIAL.** Montana’s award-form and delivery requirements, arbitrator-correction route, mandatory confirmation structure, exhaustive statutory vacatur and modification grounds, award-to-judgment transition, state appeal and stay routes, and material Montana precedent are established. The parallel FAA route, post-*Badgerow*/*Jules* federal jurisdiction branches, federal review limits, and current AAA award rules are also established. Actual governing law, award delivery, contract terms, administrator version, court jurisdiction, party participation, fraud discovery, preservation, and litigation dates remain held.\n\n## I. Core determinations\n\n1. **An arbitration award is not yet a Montana court judgment.** Under the Montana Uniform Arbitration Act, an award first must be confirmed, modified, or corrected by District Court order; judgment is then entered in conformity with that order and enforced like another judgment. The award alone does not create a Montana judgment lien, authorize execution, trigger garnishment, or itself become a credit-report deletion or refund order. Those postjudgment consequences require their own procedures. [Montana Code Annotated+1](https://mca.legmt.gov/bills/mca/title_0270/chapter_0050/part_0030/section_0110/0270-0050-0030-0110.html)\n2. **Montana requires the award to be written, signed, and delivered.** The award must be in writing and signed by the arbitrators joining it. A copy must be delivered personally, by certified mail, or in the manner provided by the agreement. The agreed or court-ordered award deadline also matters, but an objection that the award was late is waived unless raised with the arbitrators before delivery. [Montana Code Annotated](https://mca.legmt.gov/bills/mca/title_0270/chapter_0050/part_0020/section_0160/0270-0050-0020-0160.html)\n3. **Montana provides a short arbitrator-correction route.** A party has **20 days after delivery** to ask the arbitrator to correct an evident calculation or description error, correct a nonmerits defect in form, or clarify the award. Written notice must be given immediately to the opposing party, whose objections are due within **10 days**. [Montana Code Annotated](https://mca.legmt.gov/bills/mca/title_0270/chapter_0050/part_0020/section_0170/0270-0050-0020-0170.html)\n4. **Montana court confirmation is mandatory absent a timely statutory challenge.** Section 27-5-311 says the District Court “shall confirm” unless a party timely urges a ground for vacatur, modification, or correction. The court is not conducting a conventional appeal from the arbitrator’s legal and factual conclusions. [Montana Code Annotated](https://mca.legmt.gov/bills/mca/title_0270/chapter_0050/part_0030/section_0110/0270-0050-0030-0110.html)\n5. **Montana provides 90 days for ordinary court challenges.**Vacatur: generally within **90 days after delivery**.Court modification or correction: within **90 days after delivery**.Fraud, corruption, or undue means: within **90 days after the ground was known or should have been known**.Neutral-arbitrator material nondisclosure: no later than **90 days after discovery**. [Montana Code Annotated+1](https://mca.legmt.gov/bills/mca/title_0270/chapter_0050/part_0030/section_0120/0270-0050-0030-0120.html)\n6. **A request for arbitrator correction does not have an identified statutory tolling effect on the separate 90-day court windows.** Section 27-5-217 says a modified or corrected award remains subject to §§27-5-311 through 313, but it does not expressly say that an arbitrator-correction request suspends the court deadline or that every corrected award restarts every challenge period. The safe legal conclusion is to preserve each independently applicable window unless controlling authority or a court order establishes otherwise.\n7. **Montana vacatur is limited to the statutory grounds.** They are:Award procured by corruption, fraud, or undue means.Neutral evident partiality, arbitrator corruption, or prejudicial misconduct.Arbitrators exceeding their powers.Refusal of sufficient postponement, refusal of material evidence, or hearing misconduct causing substantial prejudice.No arbitration agreement, subject to the statute’s prior-ruling and participation-without-objection limits.Material failure by a neutral arbitrator to make the required disclosure. [Montana Code Annotated](https://mca.legmt.gov/bills/mca/title_0270/chapter_0050/part_0030/section_0120/0270-0050-0030-0120.html)\n8. **Montana court correction is narrower than vacatur.** A court may correct:An evident numerical miscalculation or description mistake.An award on a matter not submitted, but only if correction does not affect the merits of submitted issues.A form defect that does not affect the merits.The court must confirm the award as corrected; otherwise it must confirm the award as made. [Montana Code Annotated](https://mca.legmt.gov/bills/mca/title_0270/chapter_0050/part_0030/section_0130/0270-0050-0030-0130.html)\n9. **A legal or factual error is not, by itself, a Montana vacatur ground.** Courts cannot redo the merits, choose a better contract interpretation, reweigh evidence, or substitute a preferred damages computation. Montana’s “manifest disregard” doctrine is exceptionally narrow: the challenger must show that the arbitrator knew a clearly governing Montana rule and blatantly refused to follow it. [Justia Law](https://law.justia.com/cases/montana/supreme-court/2024/da-23-0669.html)\n10. **Montana does not permit a court to use modification as a merits rewrite.** The Supreme Court has repeatedly limited §27-5-313 to obvious calculation, description, non-submitted nonmerits, and form defects. It also has held that Montana’s statutes do not authorize partial vacatur of an award; a true vacatur ground generally implicates the award as a whole, while narrow correction remains available under §27-5-313. [Justia Law+1](https://law.justia.com/cases/montana/supreme-court/2009/41d86a2f-c5e4-4086-8ee9-3bf6ee98a40f.html)\n11. **A party can preserve a post-award “no arbitration agreement” objection, but only under the exact statutory conditions.** Section 27-5-312(1)(e) requires:No arbitration agreement.No prior adverse determination under §27-5-115.The party did not participate in the hearing without raising the objection.Participation without objection can forfeit this Montana post-award ground. [Montana Code Annotated](https://mca.legmt.gov/bills/mca/title_0270/chapter_0050/part_0030/section_0120/0270-0050-0030-0120.html)\n12. **The Montana application is a motion, and an initial application receives summons-style service unless the parties agreed otherwise.** Later motions in an already pending matter ordinarily use normal motion practice. The statute’s service distinction matters: an emailed demand to the opponent or administrator is not an initial court application. [Montana Code Annotated](https://mca.legmt.gov/bills/mca/title_0270/chapter_0050/part_0030/section_0210/0270-0050-0030-0210.html)\n13. **Montana’s express arbitration jurisdiction provision is tied to an agreement providing for arbitration in Montana.** Section 27-5-322 says such an agreement confers District Court jurisdiction to enforce and enter judgment. Venue ordinarily follows the contractually designated Montana hearing county, the actual hearing county, the adverse party’s residence or place of business, or—if none exists in Montana—any county. Whether a Montana court can proceed on a different jurisdictional basis for an out-of-state award remains claim- and contract-specific. [Montana Code Annotated+1](https://mca.legmt.gov/bills/mca/title_0270/chapter_0050/part_0030/section_0220/0270-0050-0030-0220.html)\n14. **The FAA is a different statutory route.** If the FAA governs and the parties agreed that judgment may be entered on the award, §9 allows an application within one year and directs the court to confirm unless the award is vacated, modified, or corrected under §§10 and 11. FAA §§10 and 11 enumerate the federal vacatur and correction grounds; §12 requires service of notice of a vacatur or modification motion within three months after the award is filed or delivered. [U.S. Code+3](https://uscode.house.gov/us/usc/119-124/t9/s9/)\n15. **The FAA does not itself create federal subject-matter jurisdiction.** A freestanding §§9–10 proceeding requires an independent jurisdictional basis appearing on the application’s face under *Badgerow*. But the Supreme Court’s May 14, 2026 decision in *Jules v. Andre Balazs Properties* establishes that when a federal court had original jurisdiction and stayed the still-pending claims under FAA §3, it retains jurisdiction to confirm or vacate the ensuing award in that same pending action. [Supreme Court](https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf/25-83_3e04.pdf)\n16. **Dismissal and stay are materially different after arbitration.**Pending federal case stayed under §3: *Jules* supplies continuing jurisdiction.Freestanding or previously dismissed case: *Badgerow*’s independent-jurisdiction rule applies.Rule 60 reopening after voluntary dismissal: *Waetzig* permits Rule 60 treatment of the dismissal as a final “proceeding,” but expressly did not decide whether post-award federal jurisdiction then exists. [Supreme Court+1](https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf/25-83_3e04.pdf)\n17. **FAA review is also extraordinarily narrow.** *Hall Street* treats FAA §§10 and 11 as the exclusive expedited statutory review grounds and prevents contractual expansion to ordinary legal-error review. Ninth Circuit doctrine treats “manifest disregard” and “completely irrational” formulations, where used, as narrow glosses on the statutory exceeded-powers inquiry—not as a broad independent merits appeal. Mere legal error is insufficient.\n18. **The award is not converted into a court judgment merely because the winner files first.** A Montana confirmation application does not eliminate an opponent’s unexpired statutory challenge window. But the opponent should not assume that the confirmation motion, an arbitrator-correction request, or settlement discussions extend its own 90-day deadline. In *Sutey Oil*, the winner obtained prompt confirmation while the loser’s timely correction and vacatur requests were still litigated; the case illustrates the procedural collision but does not create automatic tolling. [Justia Law](https://law.justia.com/cases/montana/supreme-court/2022/da-21-0140.html)\n19. **Appeal is from the court’s arbitration order or judgment—not directly from the private arbitrator as though the award were a trial judgment.** Montana expressly permits appeal from:Denial of compulsion.Grant of a stay of arbitration.Confirmation or denial of confirmation.Modification or correction.Vacatur without rehearing.A judgment entered under the arbitration chapter. [Montana Code Annotated](https://mca.legmt.gov/bills/mca/title_0270/chapter_0050/part_0030/section_0240/0270-0050-0030-0240.html)\n20. **Appeal does not itself guarantee a stay of enforcement.** A Montana appellant ordinarily first requests a stay and any supersedeas-bond approval from District Court. For a money judgment, the bond normally covers the unsatisfied judgment, appeal costs, interest, and delay damages unless the court sets another amount or accepts alternative security. [Montana Code Annotated+1](https://mca.legmt.gov/bills/mca/title_0250/chapter_0200/part_0070/section_0620/0250-0200-0070-0620.html)\n\n# II. Governing-route and court matrix\n\n| Route | Threshold predicate | Court | Confirmation clock | Challenge clock | Critical qualification |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| **Montana UAA** | Covered arbitration agreement and Montana statutory jurisdiction | Montana District Court | No express outer confirmation period appears in §§27-5-311–314 | 90 days after delivery; fraud/undue means from known-or-should-have-known; nondisclosure from discovery | A separate generally applicable limitation might still matter; none is supplied by §311 itself |\n| **FAA freestanding proceeding** | FAA-governed award, judgment-entry agreement, independent federal jurisdiction | U.S. District Court | §9 says within 1 year after award is made | §12: 3 months after award filed or delivered | FAA does not confer federal jurisdiction; *Badgerow* controls |\n| **FAA in stayed federal case** | Federal original jurisdiction existed and claims remained pending under §3 stay | Same U.S. District Court | §9 route in pending case | §12 | *Jules* supplies continuing jurisdiction |\n| **FAA after dismissed federal case** | New independent jurisdiction or another valid procedural route | U.S. District Court | §9 | §12 | Dismissed case does not get *Jules* treatment merely because arbitration followed |\n| **FAA after Rule 60 reopening attempt** | Rule 60 predicate plus separate federal jurisdiction analysis | U.S. District Court | Fact-specific | §12 remains material | *Waetzig* did not decide jurisdiction |\n| **AAA administrative correction** | AAA Consumer Rules validly govern the arbitration | Arbitrator/AAA | Not a court confirmation route | 20 calendar days after transmittal for R-49 request | Applicable law’s different timeframe controls under R-49(c) |\n| **Contractual appellate arbitration** | Actual agreement provides it and administrator accepts it | Private appellate panel | Contract/rules | Contract/rules | Not the same as statutory judicial appeal |\n\nMontana’s state route and the federal FAA route cannot be selected merely by labeling the agreement “governed by the FAA.” The actual contract, commerce, choice-of-law language, arbitration situs, pending-court posture, and jurisdictional facts control.\n\n# III. Award creation, form, delivery, and administrator rules\n\n## A. Montana statutory award requirements\n\n| Requirement | Montana rule | Consequence or qualification |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Form | Written | Oral result alone is not the statutory award |\n| Signature | Signed by arbitrators joining the award | Multi-arbitrator panel may issue majority award if permitted, but joining arbitrators must sign |\n| Delivery | Personal, certified mail, or as the agreement provides | Actual delivery method affects the 20- and 90-day triggers |\n| Award deadline | Contract time or court-ordered time | Written extension permitted before or after expiration |\n| Late-award objection | Must be raised before delivery | Otherwise waived |\n| Reasons/findings | No universal statutory reasoned-award requirement | Contract or administrator rules may require one |\n| Interim/partial award | Not expressly resolved by §216 alone | Confirmability depends on finality, contract, and governing statute |\n\n## B. Current AAA Consumer Rules—conditional only\n\nThe public AAA Consumer Rules are marked **amended and effective May 1, 2025**. If those rules validly govern:\n\n- R-44 ordinarily requires the award within 30 calendar days after hearing closure, or 14 calendar days in a documents-only procedure, subject to agreement, law, and limited AAA extension.\n- R-45 requires a written award signed by a majority and ordinarily a brief written explanation.\n- R-46 permits final, interim, interlocutory, or partial rulings and awards.\n- R-47 allows a settlement to be memorialized as a consent award if the parties request it.\n- R-48 recognizes delivery by the same method AAA used during the case, including electronic transmission where legally permitted.\n- R-49 provides a 20-calendar-day correction or clarification request, a 10-calendar-day response period, and no power to redetermine the merits. Applicable law’s different procedural period controls. [American Arbitration Association+1](https://www.adr.org/media/yawntdvs/2025_consumer_arbitration_rules.pdf)\n\nThese administrator provisions do **not** establish that:\n\n- AAA rules were incorporated.\n- The May 1, 2025 version governs an older contract or filing.\n- Electronic transmittal satisfied Montana §27-5-216.\n- A consent award exists merely because the parties reached a settlement.\n- A partial award is immediately confirmable.\n- AAA’s private correction route extends a court deadline.\n\n## C. Award, consent award, settlement, and judgment\n\n| Instrument | What it is | What it is not |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Final arbitration award | Arbitrator’s dispositive private adjudication | Not yet a court judgment |\n| Interim or partial award | Private interim adjudication allowed by some rules | Not automatically final or confirmable |\n| Consent award | Settlement terms embodied in an arbitral award at parties’ request | Not merely an unsigned settlement |\n| Private settlement agreement | Contract resolving dispute | Not automatically an arbitration award or judgment |\n| Confirmation order | Court order recognizing award | Judgment must still be entered under Montana §314 |\n| Court judgment on award | Judicial judgment enforceable like another judgment | Does not itself complete later lien, garnishment, or satisfaction steps |\n\n# IV. Montana post-award event and deadline matrix\n\n| Event | Actor | Trigger | Window | Required act | Identified consequence |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Award delivery | Arbitrator | Personal delivery, certified mail, or agreed method | — | Deliver written signed award | Starts ordinary Montana correction and challenge periods |\n| Objection to late award | Party | Before delivery | Before delivery | Notify arbitrators | Otherwise waived |\n| Arbitrator correction/clarification | Party | Delivery to applicant | 20 days | Apply to arbitrator | Limited correction or clarification |\n| Opposition to arbitrator correction | Opposing party | Notice of request | 10 days | Serve objections | Arbitrator considers objection |\n| Confirmation | Award party | Valid award and court jurisdiction | No express §311 outer period | Apply by motion | Court shall confirm absent timely challenge |\n| Ordinary vacatur | Challenging party | Delivery of award | 90 days | Apply to District Court | Court reviews only statutory grounds |\n| Fraud/corruption/undue means vacatur | Challenging party | Known or should have known ground | 90 days | Apply to District Court | Discovery-sensitive statutory branch |\n| Neutral nondisclosure vacatur | Challenging party | Discovery of material nondisclosure | No later than 90 days | Apply to District Court | Separate discovery trigger |\n| Court modification/correction | Party | Delivery | 90 days | Apply to District Court | Narrow nonmerits correction |\n| Rehearing after vacatur | Court/arbitrator | Vacatur order | Contract time starts from order | Conduct new arbitration as ordered | Not available for no-agreement vacatur |\n| Judgment entry | Court/clerk | Order confirming/modifying/correcting | After order | Enter conforming judgment | Enforceable like another judgment |\n| Montana appeal | Aggrieved party | Entry/service of appealable order or judgment | Ordinarily 30 days; 60 if governmental party | File notice | Invokes Supreme Court jurisdiction |\n| Stay pending appeal | Appellant | Judgment/order and appeal | Prompt application | Move first in District Court; provide security if required | Stay effective only through court-approved route |\n\nThe statute does not expressly say that a pending confirmation application, arbitrator-correction request, or settlement negotiation suspends the 90-day vacatur/modification periods.\n\n# V. Montana confirmation procedure\n\n## A. Mandatory nature\n\nUpon a party’s application, the District Court **shall confirm** unless a timely statutory ground is urged. If a vacatur application is denied and no modification application remains pending, the court must confirm. If modification is granted, the court confirms as corrected. [Montana Code Annotated+2](https://mca.legmt.gov/bills/mca/title_0270/chapter_0050/part_0030/section_0110/0270-0050-0030-0110.html)\n\n## B. Applicant, court, and service\n\nA party to the arbitration may apply. The application:\n\n- Is made by motion.\n- Is heard under ordinary motion law and rules.\n- Requires summons-style service for the **initial** court application unless the parties agreed otherwise.\n- Goes to Montana District Court under the MUAA’s express route.\n- Uses §27-5-323 venue. [Montana Code Annotated+2](https://mca.legmt.gov/bills/mca/title_0270/chapter_0050/part_0030/section_0210/0270-0050-0030-0210.html)\n\nUniform District Court Rule 2 ordinarily requires:\n\n- A statement of conferral and opposition.\n- A supporting brief with the motion.\n- An opposition brief within 14 days after service.\n- An optional reply within 14 days after the opposition.\n- Possible summary ruling for failure to brief.\n- Oral argument only if ordered. [Montana Code Annotated](https://mca.legmt.gov/bills/mca/title_0250/chapter_0190/part_0010/section_0020/0250-0190-0010-0020.html)\n\nThose briefing periods do not replace the arbitration statute’s 90-day challenge windows.\n\n## C. What the confirmation applicant should establish\n\nThe Montana statute does not list a universal filing packet equivalent to FAA §13. At minimum, a confirmation application logically requires admissible material establishing:\n\n- The agreement or statutory arbitration basis.\n- The identity of the parties and award.\n- Award delivery.\n- The court’s jurisdiction and venue.\n- The relief requested.\n- Any correction or modification already issued.\n- Whether a timely challenge is pending.\n\nThe precise required exhibits and authentication depend on the actual proceeding, local practice, opposition, and whether contract formation was previously adjudicated.\n\n## D. No express Montana confirmation outer period\n\nSection 27-5-311 contains no explicit one-year confirmation deadline. It does not follow that confirmation can be sought forever. A separate generally applicable limitations, laches, judgment, contract, or procedural rule might apply, but no such outer confirmation period was established within this bounded pass. The statutory point proved here is narrower: vacatur and modification have express 90-day windows; §311 itself does not state an outer confirmation period.\n\n## E. Effect of confirmation\n\nAfter confirmation:\n\n1. Court grants the confirmation order.\n2. Judgment must be entered in conformity.\n3. The court may award costs and disbursements of the application and later proceedings.\n4. The judgment may be docketed as an action judgment.\n5. Enforcement then follows ordinary judgment law. [Montana Code Annotated](https://mca.legmt.gov/bills/mca/title_0270/chapter_0050/part_0030/section_0140/0270-0050-0030-0140.html)\n\nSection 27-5-314 does not itself provide:\n\n- Automatic attorney fees.\n- Immediate execution before Rule 62’s stay.\n- Garnishment.\n- A lien duration.\n- Judgment renewal.\n- Satisfaction procedures.\n- A credit-report correction.\n- A provider-license consequence.\n\n# VI. Montana vacatur grounds and boundaries\n\n## A. Exhaustive statutory matrix\n\n| Montana ground | Required predicate | Important limit | Illustrative nonqualifying complaint |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| **Corruption, fraud, or undue means** | Award was procured by the misconduct | Causal connection to procurement; 90 days from known/should-known | Losing witness allegedly lied, without showing procurement or diligence |\n| **Neutral evident partiality** | Certain, definite, demonstrable partiality | Speculation, remote relationships, or adverse rulings insufficient | Arbitrator ruled against challenger |\n| **Arbitrator corruption** | Corruption affecting arbitrator | Actual evidence required | Disagreement with reasoning |\n| **Prejudicial misconduct** | Misconduct that prejudiced party rights | Must show prejudice | Harmless procedural irregularity |\n| **Exceeded powers** | Arbitrator decided beyond submitted authority or contract | Court does not substitute its contract interpretation merely because it disagrees | Ordinary legal error within submitted claim |\n| **Refused sufficient postponement** | Sufficient cause shown and refusal | Substantial prejudice required | Desired delay unsupported by evidence |\n| **Refused material evidence** | Material evidence improperly refused | Substantial prejudice required | Cumulative or immaterial evidence excluded |\n| **Hearing contrary to §27-5-213** | Procedural violation | Substantial prejudice required | Technical deviation without effect |\n| **No arbitration agreement** | No agreement; no adverse §115 ruling; objection preserved | Participation without objection bars ground | Party fully participated silently |\n| **Material neutral nondisclosure** | Required material disclosure omitted | Application no later than 90 days after discovery | Immaterial or already disclosed fact |\n\n## B. Burden\n\nThe party seeking vacatur bears the burden of establishing a statutory ground. Arbitration receives exceptional deference. The court may not presume invalidity from:\n\n- An adverse result.\n- A sparse explanation.\n- A surprising damages figure.\n- A different legal interpretation.\n- Rejection of the challenger’s evidence.\n- Failure to follow ordinary courtroom evidence rules, unless the governing arbitration process required them and substantial prejudice resulted.\n\n## C. Legal error and manifest disregard\n\nMontana allows no ordinary appeal for legal error. *Butte* explains that an arbitrator’s factual or legal conclusion cannot be overturned merely because a court believes another interpretation is better. Its majority applied Montana’s highly constrained manifest-disregard standard: the arbitrator must have been aware of a clearly governing Montana principle and blatantly refused to follow it. The dissent’s broader application was not the holding. [Justia Law](https://law.justia.com/cases/montana/supreme-court/2024/da-23-0669.html)\n\n## D. Award form and exceeded powers\n\nA failure to produce the award form the parties expressly required can potentially present an exceeded-powers issue. But courts cannot use a “reasoned award” objection to demand judicial-style findings, reweigh the substance, or vacate an award that gives the contractually required explanation. In *M.K. Weeden*, the Montana Supreme Court reversed a vacatur and treated the award as satisfying the agreed reasoned-award form. [Judicial Document Service](https://juddocumentservice.mt.gov/getDocByCTrackId?DocId=398163)\n\n## E. No partial Montana vacatur\n\nMontana precedent says the MUAA does not authorize vacating only a selected part of the award. That differs from correcting an evident calculation or form defect. If the concern is a true narrow arithmetic defect, §313 may permit correction; if the asserted flaw requires revisiting liability, evidence, or damages merits, modification is unavailable. [Justia Law+1](https://law.justia.com/cases/montana/supreme-court/2009/41d86a2f-c5e4-4086-8ee9-3bf6ee98a40f.html)\n\n# VII. Montana modification, correction, and clarification\n\n## A. Arbitrator route versus court route\n\n| Issue | Arbitrator under §27-5-217 | Court under §27-5-313 |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Evident figure miscalculation | Yes | Yes |\n| Evident description mistake | Yes through incorporated §313(1)(a) | Yes |\n| Clarification | Yes | No freestanding clarification power stated |\n| Form defect not affecting merits | Yes | Yes |\n| Matter not submitted but severable from merits | Not expressly incorporated into §217 | Yes |\n| Reweigh evidence | No | No |\n| Change legal conclusion | No | No |\n| Redetermine damages theory | No | No |\n| Deadline | 20 days after delivery | 90 days after delivery |\n| Opponent response | 10 days after notice | Ordinary motion procedure |\n| Confirmation | Corrected award remains subject to §§311–313 | Court confirms as corrected |\n\n## B. Evident miscalculation\n\nAn “evident” miscalculation is obvious and unmistakable from the award or proper arbitration record. It does not authorize a court to decide:\n\n- Which evidence was more credible.\n- Which legal interest rate should have applied.\n- Whether a fee was lawful.\n- Whether a credit should have been awarded.\n- Whether the arbitrator chose the best damages methodology.\n\n*Sutey Oil* rejected an overly narrow approach but kept the merits boundary intact; the court could seek arbitrator clarification concerning a potentially evident calculation issue rather than independently recompute disputed merits. [Justia Law](https://law.justia.com/cases/montana/supreme-court/2022/da-21-0140.html)\n\n## C. Form correction\n\nA court can correct a nonmerits defect in form, such as a clerical description problem. It cannot use “form” to require different substantive findings, reconstruct the award, or supply a remedy the arbitrator did not select.\n\n## D. Timeliness and amendment of grounds\n\n*Dick Anderson* is especially important. The party filed a timely original challenge but did not timely assert the obvious $110,000 attorney-fee transcription error. Raising that separate calculation ground more than a year later was barred. A timely motion on one ground does not necessarily preserve a different correction ground omitted until after the 90-day period. [Justia Law](https://law.justia.com/cases/montana/supreme-court/2009/41d86a2f-c5e4-4086-8ee9-3bf6ee98a40f.html)\n\n# VIII. Federal FAA confirmation, vacatur, and correction\n\n## A. FAA confirmation\n\nSection 9 requires:\n\n- Agreement that judgment may be entered on the award.\n- A proper court.\n- Application within the statute’s stated one-year period.\n- Confirmation unless §§10–11 relief applies. [U.S. Code](https://uscode.house.gov/us/usc/119-124/t9/s9/)\n\nThe current AAA Consumer Rules, if validly incorporated, state that the parties are deemed to consent to entry of judgment in a federal or state court having jurisdiction. That administrator rule cannot itself create subject-matter jurisdiction or bind a party who never agreed to AAA rules. [American Arbitration Association](https://www.adr.org/media/yawntdvs/2025_consumer_arbitration_rules.pdf)\n\nThe text says a party “may apply” within one year and the court “must grant” confirmation. This pass did not locate a controlling Ninth Circuit merits decision squarely resolving whether a freestanding FAA confirmation petition filed after the one-year period can proceed under another route. The bounded conclusion is that §9 supplies a one-year federal confirmation window and relying on a later filing is legally uncertain.\n\n## B. FAA vacatur grounds\n\n| FAA §10 ground | Core predicate |\n| --- | --- |\n| Corruption, fraud, or undue means | Award procured by prohibited means |\n| Evident partiality or arbitrator corruption | Actual statutory partiality/corruption |\n| Misconduct refusing postponement on sufficient cause | Prejudicial procedural misconduct |\n| Misconduct refusing material evidence | Unfair-hearing effect |\n| Other prejudicial misbehavior | Serious procedural unfairness |\n| Exceeded powers | Arbitrator acted outside contractual submission |\n| Imperfect execution of powers | No mutual, final, definite award on submitted subject |\n\n## C. FAA modification grounds\n\nFAA §11 allows:\n\n- Evident material numerical miscalculation.\n- Evident material description mistake.\n- Award on a matter not submitted, where correction does not affect the submitted merits.\n- Imperfection in form not affecting the merits. [U.S. Code](https://uscode.house.gov/us/usc/119-124/t9/s11/)\n\n## D. FAA timing and service\n\nNotice of a motion to vacate, modify, or correct must be **served** within three months after the award is filed or delivered. For an adverse party resident in the award district, service follows that court’s motion-service law; the statute gives a separate route for nonresidents. A judge may stay enforcement on conditions considered proper. [U.S. Code](https://uscode.house.gov/us/usc/119-124/t9/s12/)\n\nThe Ninth Circuit applies Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6(a) to calculate the three calendar months. In *Stevens v. Jiffy Lube*, a petition filed and served three months and one day after delivery was untimely. [Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals](https://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2018/12/27/17-15965.pdf)\n\n## E. FAA papers filed\n\nSection 13 requires the moving party to file:\n\n- The arbitration agreement.\n- Arbitrator or umpire appointment materials, if any.\n- Written award-time extensions, if any.\n- The award.\n- Required notices, affidavits, and related papers.\n- The court’s order.\n\nThe resulting judgment is docketed and enforced like another judgment. [U.S. Code](https://uscode.house.gov/us/usc/119-124/t9/s13/)\n\n## F. Exclusivity and no merits appeal\n\n*Hall Street* holds that §§10 and 11 supply the exclusive FAA expedited-review grounds; the parties cannot contract for ordinary judicial review of legal error. The Ninth Circuit’s “manifest disregard” and “completely irrational” formulations are narrow ways of evaluating whether an arbitrator exceeded contractual powers, not extra licenses for de novo review.\n\nA missing transcript or sparse explanation does not alone prove an unfair hearing. In *Uddin v. TD Ameritrade* (2026), the Ninth Circuit rejected vacatur where the movant lacked a record showing prejudicial exclusion or misconduct. The burden remains on the challenger.\n\n# IX. Federal subject-matter jurisdiction after the award\n\n## A. Current branch matrix\n\n| Federal posture | Jurisdiction result | Authority |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Freestanding §9 or §10 application | Independent federal jurisdiction must appear on application’s face; no §4 look-through | *Badgerow* |\n| Original federal claims stayed under FAA §3 | Court retains jurisdiction to determine §§9–10 motions in same pending case | *Jules* (May 14, 2026) |\n| Original case dismissed, then separate confirmation petition | Must independently establish jurisdiction | *Badgerow*; *Tesla Motors v. Balan* |\n| Voluntary dismissal reopened under Rule 60 | Rule 60 reopening may be procedurally available, but post-award jurisdiction separately unresolved | *Waetzig* |\n| State-court confirmation under Montana law | Federal subject-matter jurisdiction unnecessary, but Montana jurisdiction and personal service still required | MCA §§27-5-321–323 |\n\n*Jules* is now the most current Supreme Court authority for a federal case that was stayed—not dismissed—pending arbitration. The Court reasoned that the original claims remained pending until the award was judicially addressed, making the §§9–10 motions part of the same live matter. [Supreme Court](https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf/25-83_3e04.pdf)\n\n*Waetzig* should not be overstated. It held only that a voluntary dismissal without prejudice is a “final proceeding” potentially subject to Rule 60(b). It expressly left the federal jurisdiction question for remand. [Supreme Court](https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/23-971_l6gn.pdf)\n\n## B. Amount in controversy\n\nThe FAA itself does not satisfy diversity’s amount-in-controversy requirement. A low-value or zero-dollar award cannot simply be combined with the value of an already dismissed underlying dispute under *Badgerow*’s freestanding-application approach. The actual award, requested relief, citizenship, and pending-case posture matter.\n\n# X. Timing and computation\n\n## A. Montana computation rules\n\nMontana Rule 6 applies to a statutory period that does not provide its own computation method:\n\n1. Exclude the triggering day.\n2. Count every intermediate day.\n3. Include the last day.\n4. If the last day is Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, continue to the next nonholiday day.\n5. If the clerk is inaccessible, extend to the first accessible qualifying day.\n6. E-filing ordinarily ends at midnight in the court’s time zone.\n7. Other filing ends at clerk closing. [Montana Code Annotated](https://mca.legmt.gov/bills/mca/title_0250/chapter_0200/part_0020/section_0060/0250-0200-0020-0060.html)\n\nThe extra three days in Rule 6(d) apply when the act runs after specified **Rule 5 service methods**. Montana’s arbitration periods run from **delivery of the award**, discovery of a ground, or notice of an arbitrator-correction request. Three extra days are not automatically added merely because an award was mailed.\n\n## B. Montana concrete hypothetical\n\n**Assumption:** Valid statutory delivery occurred Monday, November 2, 2026. No different contractual or court computation rule applies.\n\n### Arbitrator correction\n\n- Trigger day excluded.\n- Day 20: Sunday, November 22, 2026.\n- Weekend extension: Monday, November 23, 2026.\n\n**Illustrative final day:** **November 23, 2026.**\n\n### Court vacatur or modification\n\n- Trigger day excluded.\n- Day 90: Sunday, January 31, 2027.\n- Weekend extension: Monday, February 1, 2027.\n\n**Illustrative final day:** **February 1, 2027.**\n\nThese dates assume that November 2 was legally effective “delivery.” A later receipt, agreed electronic-transmission rule, corrected award, fraud-discovery trigger, or court order can change the analysis.\n\n## C. FAA comparison on the same hypothetical\n\nFor an FAA §12 three-month period beginning from a November 2, 2026 filed-or-delivered award, the corresponding three-month date is **February 2, 2027**, subject to federal Rule 6 and federal holiday/filing rules. Montana’s 90-day period and the FAA’s three-calendar-month period are not interchangeable.\n\n## D. Fraud-discovery branch\n\n### Montana\n\nIf the award was delivered on Day A, but award-procuring fraud was first known or reasonably discoverable on Day F, the Montana fraud branch runs 90 days from Day F. A party cannot choose a later subjective discovery date if reasonable diligence should have exposed the ground earlier. [Montana Code Annotated](https://mca.legmt.gov/bills/mca/title_0270/chapter_0050/part_0030/section_0120/0270-0050-0030-0120.html)\n\n### FAA\n\nFAA §12 contains no express fraud-discovery extension. The Ninth Circuit has allowed equitable tolling in extraordinary circumstances, as in concealed arbitrator impersonation/fraud in *Move, Inc. v. Citigroup*, but tolling is exceptional and requires diligence. Montana’s express discovery branch must not be imported into the FAA.\n\n## E. No assumed tolling from related filings\n\nNo reviewed statute establishes that any of the following automatically suspends a Montana or FAA award challenge period:\n\n- Arbitrator-correction request.\n- Opponent’s confirmation application.\n- Informal objection.\n- Administrator complaint.\n- Settlement negotiation.\n- Request for the arbitration file.\n- Motion for fees.\n- Motion to stay enforcement.\n- Late-added challenge ground.\n- An appeal from a different order.\n\nEach filing must satisfy its own deadline.\n\n# XI. Confirmation while the challenge window remains open\n\n## A. Montana\n\nSection 27-5-311 directs confirmation unless timely grounds are urged. It does not expressly require a winner to wait 90 days before filing. Accordingly:\n\n- A winner may seek prompt confirmation.\n- A loser still must preserve its own timely statutory challenge.\n- The confirmation application does not safely extend the loser’s 90-day period.\n- A court should address a properly pending timely vacatur or correction motion before final confirmation consequences are fixed.\n- If vacatur is denied and no correction motion remains, confirmation is mandatory. [Montana Code Annotated+1](https://mca.legmt.gov/bills/mca/title_0270/chapter_0050/part_0030/section_0110/0270-0050-0030-0110.html)\n\nIn *Sutey Oil*, the winner moved for confirmation one day after the loser requested arbitrator correction, and the court confirmed about a week later. The loser later filed a timely court challenge, and the Montana Supreme Court considered the correction issue. The case demonstrates that prompt confirmation does not necessarily erase a timely statutory challenge; it does not establish a general tolling rule. [Justia Law](https://law.justia.com/cases/montana/supreme-court/2022/da-21-0140.html)\n\n## B. FAA\n\nUnder Ninth Circuit authority, a party cannot wait beyond §12’s three months and then use an opposition to confirmation or a Rule 59 motion to obtain the merits review that should have been sought by timely vacatur motion. Once the challenge period expires, confirmation generally becomes mandatory absent a valid preserved exception.\n\n# XII. Appeal, finality, stays, and security\n\n## A. Montana appealability\n\nMontana expressly permits appeal from:\n\n| Order or judgment | Immediate statutory appeal? |\n| --- | --- |\n| Denial of application to compel | Yes |\n| Grant of application to stay arbitration | Yes |\n| Order confirming award | Yes |\n| Order denying confirmation | Yes |\n| Order modifying or correcting | Yes |\n| Order vacating without rehearing | Yes |\n| Judgment under arbitration chapter | Yes |\n| Order compelling arbitration | Not listed |\n| Order refusing to stay arbitration | Not listed |\n| Order vacating and directing rehearing | Not listed in §324(1)(e) |\n| Private award itself | No direct court appeal |\n\nA denial of vacatur commonly becomes reviewable through the accompanying confirmation order or judgment.\n\n## B. Montana appeal timing\n\nOrdinarily:\n\n- Notice of civil appeal: **30 days** after entry.\n- **60 days** if the United States, Montana, a political subdivision, or specified official/agency is a party.\n- Where Rule 77(d) requires service of notice of entry, the period begins with that service.\n- Cross-appeal: 15 days after the first notice or the remaining normal time, whichever expires later.\n- Timely specified postjudgment motions can reset the appeal period.\n- A necessary unresolved attorney-fee, cost, or sanction amount can affect finality. [Montana Code Annotated](https://mca.legmt.gov/bills/mca/title_0250/chapter_0210/part_0010/section_0040/0250-0210-0010-0040.html)\n\nThese appeal deadlines do not extend the underlying 90-day arbitration challenge period.\n\n## C. Montana enforcement stay\n\nA confirmed-award judgment receives Rule 62’s ordinary protections:\n\n- No execution for 14 days after entry, absent an exception or modifying order.\n- A stay pending qualifying postjudgment motions may be ordered on protective terms.\n- An appeal stay ordinarily takes effect when the court approves a supersedeas bond or alternative security.\n- The parties may stipulate in writing to waive security. [Montana Code Annotated](https://mca.legmt.gov/bills/mca/title_0250/chapter_0200/part_0070/section_0620/0250-0200-0070-0620.html)\n\nThe 14-day period also includes Montana’s automatic anti-dissipation injunction. It is not permission for either side to evade later execution or transfer restrictions.\n\n## D. Montana appellate stay procedure\n\nThe moving party ordinarily must first request relief in District Court. If execution of a money judgment is to be stayed:\n\n- A supersedeas bond is generally required unless waived.\n- The presumptive amount covers the whole unsatisfied judgment, costs on appeal, interest, and delay damages.\n- District Court may set another amount or permit equivalent security for good cause.\n- A motion for Supreme Court review of the stay ruling generally is due within 11 days after the District Court order.\n- The opposition generally has 11 days. [Montana Code Annotated](https://mca.legmt.gov/bills/mca/title_0250/chapter_0210/part_0010/section_0220/0250-0210-0010-0220.html)\n\n## E. FAA appeal boundary\n\nFAA §16 allows immediate appeal from:\n\n- Refusal of a §3 stay.\n- Denial of a §4 compulsion petition.\n- Confirmation or denial of confirmation.\n- Modification, correction, or vacatur.\n- A final FAA decision.\n\nIt generally bars interlocutory appeal from an order granting a stay, directing arbitration, compelling arbitration, or refusing to enjoin arbitration. [U.S. Code](https://uscode.house.gov/us/usc/119-124/t9/s16/)\n\nAn appeal from an award-stage federal order is an appeal from the federal court’s order—not an unrestricted review of the arbitrator’s merits.\n\n# XIII. Montana and federal review standards\n\n| Question | Montana standard | FAA/Ninth Circuit standard |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Ordinary legal error | Not enough | Not enough |\n| Factual disagreement | No reweighing | No reweighing |\n| Contract interpretation | Enforced if plausibly within arbitrator’s authority | Enforced if award draws essence from contract |\n| Manifest disregard | Clearly governing Montana law known and blatantly refused | Narrow gloss on exceeded powers, not free-standing merits review |\n| Miscalculation | Obvious and unmistakable; no merits reweighing | Evident material miscalculation |\n| Form of award | Contractual form may define powers; court cannot demand judicial opinion | Depends on agreement and §10(a)(4) |\n| Excluded evidence | Requires materiality and substantial prejudice | Requires prejudicial misconduct/unfair hearing |\n| Partial vacatur | Not authorized under Montana precedent | Federal result depends on award and §10; no broad partial-vacatur rule assumed here |\n| New evidence outside arbitration record | Generally improper for merits reconstruction | Review is limited and not a new trial |\n| Burden | Challenger | Challenger |\n\n# XIV.

Bounded workflows and examples\n\n## Example 1 — Timely Montana confirmation with no ground shown\n\n**Assumptions**\n\n- Written signed award.\n- Valid delivery.\n- Montana District Court has jurisdiction and venue.\n- No timely vacatur or modification application.\n- No formation dispute remains.\n\n**Sequence**\n\n1. Winner files and serves initial confirmation application under §27-5-321.\n2. Opponent files no timely statutory challenge.\n3. Court must confirm under §27-5-311.\n4. Judgment is entered under §27-5-314.\n5. Rule 62 ordinarily prevents execution for 14 days.\n6. Later lien, execution, or garnishment requires separate law.\n\nThe court does not reopen the contract merits merely because the loser argues the arbitrator “got it wrong.”\n\n## Example 2 — Post-award formation objection\n\n**Assumptions**\n\n- Party consistently objected during arbitration that no agreement existed.\n- No prior adverse §27-5-115 determination.\n- Vacatur application filed within 90 days after delivery.\n\nThe court may consider §27-5-312(1)(e).\n\n**Different branch**\n\nThe party participated fully without raising formation and objects only after losing. The Montana statutory no-agreement vacatur ground is unavailable on that participation record. This does not decide a different constitutional or jurisdictional argument not established here.\n\n## Example 3 — Fraud discovered later\n\n**Facts**\n\n- Award delivered Day A.\n- Award-procuring fraud could not reasonably have been discovered then.\n- Fraud discovered Day F.\n\n### Montana branch\n\nApplication is due within 90 days after the fraud was known or should have been known.\n\n### FAA branch\n\nThere is no statutory §12 fraud-discovery branch. The party would need to satisfy the three-month rule or establish rare equitable tolling under governing federal precedent.\n\nThe two regimes must not be combined.\n\n## Example 4 — Legal error versus vacatur ground\n\n**Allegation**\n\n“The arbitrator interpreted the agreement incorrectly and allowed a fee that Montana law does not permit.”\n\nStanding alone, that is a merits/legal-error complaint.\n\nPotentially different facts would be:\n\n- The arbitrator expressly acknowledged a clearly governing, nonwaivable Montana rule.\n- The arbitrator stated it would intentionally refuse to apply that rule.\n- The refusal was material to the award.\n\nOnly the latter type of record could approach Montana’s narrow manifest-disregard standard. Even then, the challenger bears the burden.\n\n## Example 5 — Arithmetic correction versus merits rewrite\n\n**Award components**\n\n- Principal: $8,000.00\n- Interest: +$1,200.00\n- Fee: +$300.00\n- Credit: −$500.00\n\nCorrect arithmetic:\n\n$8,000+$1,200+$300−$500=$9,000\\$8,000+\\$1,200+\\$300-\\$500=\\$9,000$8,000+$1,200+$300−$500=$9,000If the award states $9,500.00 while listing those four components, the $500.00 discrepancy is a candidate evident miscalculation.\n\nDifferent disputes are merits disputes:\n\n- Whether the $300.00 fee was legally authorized.\n- Whether interest should have been $900.00.\n- Whether the credit should have been $700.00.\n- Whether principal was $7,500.00.\n\nCorrect arithmetic proves neither component legality nor award entitlement.\n\n## Example 6 — Confirmation filed while the opponent’s period remains open\n\n**Facts**\n\n- Award delivered Day 0.\n- Winner moves to confirm Day 5.\n- Loser has not yet filed a court challenge.\n- Loser later files a qualifying vacatur application on Day 60.\n\nThe winner’s filing does not safely eliminate the loser’s statutory 90-day opportunity. The court should adjudicate the timely challenge under §§312–313.\n\nConversely, the loser cannot assume that the winner’s confirmation motion extends Day 90. Its own application still must be timely.\n\n## Example 7 — Award delivered by electronic transmission, but governing source unknown\n\n**Facts**\n\n- AAA emails the award.\n- Contract says only “AAA arbitration.”\n- No one has yet established which AAA rules or agreement version controls.\n- Montana statute permits delivery “as provided in the agreement.”\n\nPossible branches:\n\n1. Contract validly incorporates current AAA R-48: email may be the agreed delivery.\n2. Contract incorporates an earlier rule version with different language.\n3. Contract does not establish electronic delivery: statutory personal/certified-mail issue remains.\n4. Party accepted and used the electronic award but later disputes delivery: waiver, agreement, and actual notice require analysis.\n\nNo court deadline is calculated until legally effective delivery is established.\n\n## Example 8 — Appeal and stay/security boundary\n\n**Facts**\n\n- Montana District Court confirms a $20,000.00 award.\n- Judgment enters.\n- Losing party appeals.\n\n**Without a stay**\n\nThe appeal does not alone indefinitely prevent enforcement. Rule 62 supplies an initial 14-day stay, after which ordinary enforcement may proceed unless another stay is obtained.\n\n**Stay application**\n\nThe appellant first moves in District Court. A presumptive money-judgment bond can include:\n\n$20,000+appeal costs+interest+delay damages\\$20,000\n+\\text{appeal costs}\n+\\text{interest}\n+\\text{delay damages}$20,000+appeal costs+interest+delay damagesNo dollar bond is calculated because future interest, costs, court findings, and alternative security are unknown.\n\n**Alternative branch**\n\nThe parties stipulate in writing to waive security, or the court permits equivalent alternative security after good-cause findings.\n\n## Example 9 — Consent award versus private settlement\n\n**Facts**\n\n- Parties settle during AAA arbitration.\n- They sign a private settlement.\n- They do not request a consent award.\n\nThe settlement is not automatically an arbitral award subject to confirmation.\n\n**Different branch**\n\nThe parties request and receive a signed consent award under R-47. That award may enter the confirmation pathway, subject to jurisdiction, governing law, and the actual award terms.\n\n## Example 10 — Arbitrator correction request and court deadline\n\n**Facts**\n\n- Award delivered Day 0.\n- Party requests arbitrator correction on Day 15.\n- Arbitrator issues correction on Day 35.\n- Original court-vacatur Day 90 approaches.\n\nSection 27-5-217 does not expressly state that the correction request suspended Day 90. Nor does the statute conclusively state that every correction restarts the entire 90-day period for all original-award objections.\n\n**Held operational result:** preserve the original court deadline unless controlling authority or a court order establishes a different trigger; separately analyze any new matter created by the corrected award.\n\n# XVII.
