Jorrin v. State, Emp\u27t Sec. Div., 139 Nev. Adv. Op. 29 (Sep. 07, 2023)

Under NRS 612.530(1), parties have 11 days after the NESD Board of Review\u27s decision is finalized to request judicial review. NRCP 6(d) provides a three-day extension for parties to act after they are served by mail. While the Court once interpreted NRCP 6(d) to extend NRS 612.530(1)’s deadline2, the Court found that the statute’s clear language does not allow for an extension because it focuses on the date the decision is finalized, not the decision’s service date. The Supreme Court of Nevada thus held that NRCP 6(d)\u27s three-day mailing rule does not influence the timeframe set by NRS 612.530(1)

This compulsion is appropriate if the nonsignatory seeking to compel arbitration shows both the right to enforce the contract and that compelling arbitration aligns with standard principles of contract law or estoppel. The Court reversed the district court’s orders denying motions to compel arbitration and remanded for further proceedings
