Full Text of § 172.148
Plain-English Summary
The remedy for a claim the tribunal forgot.
The request comes from a party, within 30 days of receipt of the award, except as agreed by the parties.
The claim must have been presented in the arbitration. This is not a route for raising something new after the award.
The omission is what triggers it. The claim was presented but left out of the award.
The tribunal decides whether the request is justified, and if it is, makes the additional award.
Sixty days is allowed for that, twice the period Section 172.147 gives for a correction — an additional award requires deciding a claim rather than fixing a number.
The section keeps the case out of court. Without it, an omitted claim would send the parties to a judge, or leave the claim unresolved.
Compare Chapter 171 from the other direction. Section 171.091(a)(2) lets a court correct an award that decided a matter not submitted; this section fills a gap rather than trimming an excess.
The tribunal’s mandate survives for this purpose. Section 172.118(c) keeps it alive subject to Sections 172.147, 172.148 and 172.149.
The deadline may be extended under Section 172.149 if necessary.
