2021 Georgia Code|Title 9 - Civil Practice|Chapter 9 - Arbitration|Article 1 - General Provisions|Part 1 - Arbitration Code|§ 9-9-3. Effect of Arbitration Agreement

 A written agreement to submit any existing controversy to arbitration or a provision in a written contract to submit any controversy thereafter arising to arbitration is enforceable without regard to the justiciable character of the controversy and confers jurisdiction on the courts of the state to enforce it and to enter judgment on an award.    (Code 1933, § 7-303, enacted by Ga. L. 1978, p. 2270, § 1; Code 1981, §9-9-82; Code 1981, §9-9-3, as redesignated by Ga. L. 1988, p. 903, § 1.)

2021 Georgia Code|Title 9 - Civil Practice|Chapter 9 - Arbitration|Article 1 - General Provisions|Part 1 - Arbitration Code|§ 9-9-5. Limitation of Time as Bar to Arbitration

  If a claim sought to be arbitrated would be barred by limitation of time had the claim sought to be arbitrated been asserted in court, a party may apply to the court to stay arbitration or to vacate the award, as provided in this part. The court has discretion in deciding whether to apply the bar. A party waives the right to raise limitation of time as a bar to arbitration in an application to stay arbitration by that party's participation in the arbitration.   Failure to make this application to the court shall not preclude a party from asserting before the arbitrators limitation of time as a bar to the arbitration. The arbitrators, in their sole discretion, shall decide whether to apply the bar. This exercise of discretion shall not be subject to review of the court on an application to confirm, vacate, or modify the award except upon the grounds hereafter specified in this part for vacating or modifying an award.

  If the arbitration agreement provides for a method of appointment of arbitrators, that method shall be followed. If there is only one arbitrator, the term "arbitrators" shall apply to him.   The court shall appoint one or more arbitrators on application of a party if:   The agreement does not provide for a method of appointment;   The agreed method fails;   The agreed method is not followed for any reason; or   The arbitrators fail to act and no successors have been appointed.     An arbitrator appointed pursuant to subsection (b) of this Code section shall have all the powers of one specifically named in the agreement.     (Code 1933, § 7-308, enacted by Ga.

  The arbitrators may issue subpoenas for the attendance of witnesses and for the production of books, records, documents, and other evidence. These subpoenas shall be served and, upon application to the court by a party or the arbitrators, enforced in the same manner provided by law for the service and enforcement of subpoenas in a civil action.   Notices to produce books, writings, and other documents or tangible things; depositions; and other discovery may be used in the arbitration according to procedures established by the arbitrators.   A party shall have the opportunity to obtain a list of witnesses and to examine and copy documents relevant to the arbitration.   Witnesses shall be compensated in the same amount and manner as witnesses in the superior courts.     (Code 1933, § 7-310, enacted by Ga.

Upon the death or incompetency of a party, the court may extend the time within which an application to confirm, vacate, or modify the award or to stay arbitration must be made.
