Abstract
Since 1929, the Iranian legislator has addressed the issue of arbitration or a judge appointed by the litigants, which has a precedent in both Shiite and Sunni jurisprudence and as well as those of other countries Following this legislation, various claims related to the annulment of arbitration awards have occupied the Iranian courts, in which parties to the disputes have contested these awards both in terms of procedure and substance In this review, the judgments rendered by the court of first instance and the appellate court regarding the request to annul the arbitral award have been examined and criticized, and we have discussed the arguments of the two honorable courts regarding the time limit for award, objection to the award, and the limit and scope of the authority of the court to confirm or annul the arbitral award.
