decree" is replaced with "judgment" because
"judgment" includes "decree" or "final
order". The only other changes made are in
style.

SEC. 3-229. DEATH OR INCOMPETENCE OF PARTY.

(A)   DECEASED PARTY.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE DEATH OF A PARTY WHO MADE A
WRITTEN AGREEMENT TO SUBMIT A CONTROVERSY TO
ARBITRATION, THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS MAY BEGIN OR
CONTINUE IF AN APPLICATION HAS BEEN FILED BY OR NOTICE
GIVEN TO HIS PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE.

(B)   PARTY UNDER DISABILITY.

IF A GUARDIAN HAS BEEN APPOINTED, THE PROCEEDINGS
MAY BE CONTINUED:

(1)   UPON THE APPLICATION OF THE GUARDIAN;
OR

(2)   UPON THE NOTICE TO THE GUARDIAN.

(C)   EXTENSION OF TIME.

UPON THE DEATH OR INCOMPETENCE OF A PARTY, THE
COURT MAY EXTEND THE TIME WITHIN WHICH A PETITION TO
CONFIRM, VACATE, OR MODIFY THE AWARD, OR TO STAY
ARBITRATION, MUST BE HADE.

(D)   SUBSEQUENT PROCEEDINGS.

IF A PARTY DIES AFTER AN AWARD WAS DELIVERED, THE
SUBSEQUENT PROCEEDINGS ARE THE SAME AS WHERE A PARTY
DIES AFTER A VERDICT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language
derived from Art. 7, §19. In subsection
(a) the terms "executor" and
"administrator" are replaced with "personal
representative". Art. 93, §1—301 provides
that all property of a party, personal and
real, devolves at his death upon a personal
representative.

The provisions dealing with notice to
distributee or devisee are proposed for
deletion.
