| 1. The same sections in the UAA (Sections 14, 15) and a |
similar section in the FAA (Section 13 regarding judgments and |
docketing) as well as in RUAA Section 24(a) included court |
orders confirming, modifying or correcting awards but not |
vacating awards. There is no explanation in the legislative |
history or the case law under the UAA or the FAA for the |
omission of the inclusion of vacatur in reference to judgments |
and recording judgments. The indication from the cases is that |
courts that vacate arbitration awards refer to the vacatur |
orders as judgments. In its version of the UAA Arizona states |
that courts that vacate awards should enter a "judgment." |
Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 12-1512 (1994). There are other state |
appellate decisions which refer to vacatur orders as |
"judgments." Judith v. Graphic |
