Arbitration Award Interpretation Within Scope of Authority
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA party challenged an arbitration award, arguing that the arbitrators exceeded their powers by modifying the scope of a contract settlement agreement, specifically by interpreting a release clause to exclude certain claims the party believed were unambiguously covered. The court reasoned that the arbitration agreement clearly granted the arbitrators the authority to interpret the settlement agreement, and when an arbitrator arguably misinterprets a contract within the scope of their delegated authority, the remedy is generally not to vacate the award, as courts are hesitant to overturn arbitration awards absent clear evidence of exceeding powers or evident partiality, and the alleged error involved interpretation, not an act outside the scope of submission.
