personally or by certified mail, return receipt requested, or as provided in the agreement
to each party or his attorney who has appeared in the proceeding. The award shall state findings of all relevant material facts, and make all applicable
determinations of law. b. An award shall be made within the time fixed by the agreement for alternative resolution

provided by the agreement for alternative resolution or by this act. d. On written application of a party to the umpire within 20 days after delivery of

in subsection e. of section 13 of this act. 1 Written notice of the application shall be given to other parties to the proceeding. Written objection to modification must be served on the umpire and other parties
to the proceeding within 10 days of receipt of the notice. The umpire shall dispose of any application made under this section in writing,
signed and acknowledged by him, within 30 days after either written objection to modification
has been served or the time for serving an objection has expired, whichever is earlier. The parties may in writing extend the time for the disposition either before or
after its expiration. e. The umpire shall make the award on all issues submitted for alternative resolution
in accordance with applicable principles of substantive law. f. The court shall confirm an award upon application of a party made within one year
