§ 7321.22. Remedies; fees and expenses of arbitration proceeding
(b) Attorney fees and costs.--An arbitrator may award reasonable attorney fees and other reasonable expenses of arbitration if the award is authorized by law in a civil action involving the same claim, by the agreement of the parties to the arbitration proceeding or by the terms of an agreement subject to arbitration.
(c) Additional remedies.--As to all remedies other than those authorized by subsections (a) and (b), an arbitrator may order remedies as the arbitrator considers just and appropriate under the circumstances of the arbitration proceeding. The fact that a remedy could not or would not be granted by the court is not a ground for refusing to confirm an award under section 7321.23 (relating to confirmation of award) or for vacating an award under section 7321.24 (relating to vacating award).
(e) Justification for punitive damages.--If an arbitrator awards punitive damages or other exemplary relief under subsection (a), the arbitrator shall specify in the award the basis in fact justifying and the basis in law authorizing the award and state separately the amount of the punitive damages or other exemplary relief.
