Terms Used In Michigan Laws 423.281
- Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.
- Fiscal year: The fiscal year is the accounting period for the government. For the federal government, this begins on October 1 and ends on September 30. The fiscal year is designated by the calendar year in which it ends; for example, fiscal year 2006 begins on October 1, 2005 and ends on September 30, 2006.
- Jurisdiction: (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have simultaneous responsibility for the same case. (2) The geographic area over which the court has authority to decide cases.
- state: when applied to the different parts of the United States, shall be construed to extend to and include the District of Columbia and the several territories belonging to the United States; and the words "United States" shall be construed to include the district and territories. See Michigan Laws 8.3o
- Statute: A law passed by a legislature.
A majority decision of the arbitration panel, if supported by competent, material, and substantial evidence on the whole record, shall be final and binding upon the parties, and may be enforced, at the instance of either party or of the arbitration panel, in the circuit court for the county in which the dispute arose or in which a majority of the affected employees reside. The commencement of a new state fiscal year after the initiation of arbitration procedures under this act, but before the issuance of the arbitration order, or its enforcement, shall not be considered to render a dispute moot or to otherwise impair the jurisdiction or authority of the arbitration panel or its order. The arbitration panel may award increases in rates of compensation or other benefits retroactively to the commencement of a period in dispute, other statute provisions to the contrary notwithstanding. At any time the parties, by stipulation, may amend or modify an order of arbitration.
