A health club is on the hook for a $200,000 arbitration award after its lawyer failed to use New Jersey’s eCourts system to electronically file its demand for a trial de novo and to pay the filing fee, the Appellate Division has ruled.

The appeals court affirmed orders enforcing an arbitration award to a plaintiff who suffered an injury at a New York Sports Club and denying the club’s motion for leave to file a demand for trial de novo.
