  1. OK Code
  2. Title 12

A. An arbitrator may award punitive damages or other exemplary

relief if such an award is authorized by law in a civil action

involving the same claim and the evidence produced at the hearing

justifies the award under the legal standards otherwise applicable

to the claim.

B. An arbitrator may award reasonable attorney fees and other

reasonable expenses of arbitration if such an award is authorized by

law in a civil action involving the same claim or by the agreement

of the parties to the arbitration proceeding.

C. As to all remedies other than those authorized by

subsections A and B of this section, an arbitrator may order such

remedies as the arbitrator considers just and appropriate under the

circumstances of the arbitration proceeding. The fact that such a

remedy could not or would not be granted by the court is not a

ground for refusing to confirm an award under Section 23 of this act

or for vacating an award under Section 24 of this act.

D. An arbitrator’s expenses and fees, together with other

expenses, shall be paid as provided in the award.

E. If an arbitrator awards punitive damages or other exemplary

relief under subsection A of this section, 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.
