Chapter 18 - § 18.7 • ENFORCEMENT OF THE JUDGMENT

• Jurisdiction: Colorado

§ 18.7 • ENFORCEMENT OF THE JUDGMENT

Under the CRUAA, once the court has confirmed, modified, or corrected an award, the judge enters a judgment in conformity with the award. At that point, the award — now a judgment — is treated and enforced in the same way as any other judgment.⁸⁹

Under FAA § 13, the judgment entered has the same force and effect in all respects as a judgment in any civil action and is subject to all the provisions of law relating to a judgment in any civil action, and it may be enforced as if it had been rendered in an action in the court in which it is rendered.⁹⁰

Once the time for a motion to vacate has passed, the judgment debtor cannot use grounds for vacating an award as a defense to confirmation.⁹¹
