TITLE 28
Labor and Labor Relations
CHAPTER 28-9
Arbitration of Labor Controversies
SECTION 28-9-26
§ 28-9-26 Death or disability of party to
proceedings.
Where a party dies after making a submission or contract as prescribed in this
chapter or otherwise, the proceedings may be begun or continued upon the
application of, or upon notice to, his or her executor or administrator, or a
temporary administrator of his or her estate, or, where it relates to real
property, his or her distributee or devisee who has succeeded to his or her
interest in the real property. Where a committee of the property or of the
person of a party to a submission or contract is appointed, the proceedings may
be continued upon the application of, or notice to, a committee of the
property, but not otherwise. In cases specified in this section, a judge of the
court may make an order extending the time within which notice of a motion to
confirm, vacate, modify, or correct the award must be served. Upon confirming
an award, where a party has died since it was filed or delivered, the court
must enter judgment in the name of the original party, and the proceedings are
the same as where a party dies after a verdict.
