Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
A.  An arbitrator may award benefits set forth in Sections 45,
46, 47 and 51 of this title.
B.  An arbitrator may award reasonable attorney fees and other
reasonable expenses of arbitration if the arbitrator finds that a
party was not acting in good faith throughout the arbitration.
C.  As to all remedies other than those authorized by
subsections A and B of this section, an arbitrator may order such
remedies as the arbitrator considers just and appropriate under the
circumstances of the arbitration proceeding.  The fact that such a
remedy could not or would not be granted by the Workers'
Compensation Commission is not a ground for refusing to confirm an
award under Section 322 of this title or for vacating an award under
Section 323 of this title.
D.  An arbitrator's expenses and fees, together with other
expenses, shall be paid by the employer.
E.  If an arbitrator awards relief under subsection A of this
section, the arbitrator shall specify in the award the basis in fact
justifying and the basis in law authorizing the award.
