If an arbitrator makes a pre-award ruling in favor of a party to the arbitration proceeding, the party may request the arbitrator to incorporate the ruling into an award under Section 20 [44-7A-20 NMSA 1978]. A prevailing party may make a motion to the court for an expedited order to confirm the award under Section 23 [44-7A-23 NMSA 1978], in which case the court shall summarily decide the motion. The court shall issue an order to confirm the award unless the court vacates, modifies or corrects the award under Section 24 or 25 [44-7A-24 or 44-7A-25 NMSA 1978].
