Challenge to Arbitration Awards for Manifest Disregard of Law in Contract Interpretation
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe dispute involved challenges to several arbitration awards concerning an agreement, where the challenging party alleged the arbitrators manifestly disregarded the law by relying on prior, arguably invalid, preliminary determinations and issuing awards contrary to established contract interpretation principles regarding payment calculations and entitlement. The court reasoned that setting aside arbitration awards based on the argument that the arbitrators disregarded the law requires more than merely pointing to errors in the arbitrators' interpretation or application of the law; the challenging party must demonstrate that the arbitrators were aware of the correct law but intentionally chose to ignore it, or that the challenged aspects of the awards were completely unsupported by or contrary to the governing legal principles, which the challenging party failed to sufficiently establish regarding the specific contract provisions at issue.
