enforceability of awards

Enforceability of awards refers to whether a court or authority can require the parties to obey a decision made through arbitration or other dispute resolution processes. If an award is enforceable, it means the winning party can ask the court to ensure the losing party complies, often through legal mechanisms like fines or asset seizure. Enforceability depends on factors like adherence to legal standards, proper notice, and jurisdiction. When an award is enforceable, it has the same legal power as a court judgment, allowing the winning party to compel compliance and resolve the dispute efficiently.
