Full Text of § 1297.335
Plain-English Summary
An omitted claim deserves a real decision, not a rushed one, and this section gives the tribunal more room than the correction and interpretation deadlines elsewhere in this article. If the tribunal considers a request for an additional award justified, it has 60 days from receiving the request to issue that award -- double the 30 days allowed for corrections and interpretations under Section 1297.332.
That extra time reflects the difference in what's being asked. Correcting a typo or clarifying a phrase is quick work; deciding a claim the tribunal hadn't yet ruled on requires the same kind of substantive consideration as the rest of the case.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the tribunal have to make an additional award?
60 days after receiving the party's request, once the tribunal considers the request justified.
Why does this deadline run longer than the one for corrections and interpretations?
Because deciding an omitted claim requires substantive consideration of the merits, unlike fixing a clerical error or clarifying a point already decided.
Can this deadline be extended?
Yes. Section 1297.336 lets the tribunal extend the period for making an additional award if necessary.
