...The arbitration panel denied the Arons' *882 claims for punitive damages and attorney's fees. Shortly thereafter, NationsBanc paid the award in full. Approximately eleven months later, on March 19, 1997, the Arons petitioned the circuit court to confirm the arbitration award under section 682.12, Florida Statutes (1995), [1] and to grant them attorney's fees....
...[2] NationsBanc timely appealed, raising four issues. We address only the timeliness issue as we find it dispositive of the case. The Florida Arbitration Code, chapter 682, Florida Statutes (1995), establishes the pertinent time rules to be applied in this matter. Section 682.12 authorizes a court to confirm an arbitration award upon application by a party but does not specify a time limit within which to seek such confirmation....
...However, when grounds are asserted to vacate, modify, or correct the award, the statute directs *883 that the time limits set forth in sections 682.13 or 682.14 must be followed.

...[4] In the former instance, section 682.14 sets the time limit at ninety days. In the latter instance, section 682.10 sets it at twenty days after delivery of the award to the applicant. The Arons were proceeding under section 682.10 and, thus, did not make a timely application. They would have us read sections 682.12 and 682.10 in conjunction to mean that an application to confirm an award, made years later, would allow them twenty additional days to seek clarification....
