Ahmed v. Oak Management Corp.

Summary

The court upheld the arbitration award against challenges that the arbitrator exceeded his authority, denied a full and fair hearing, engaged in prejudicial misconduct, violated public policy, or violated federal arbitration law. It held that the arbitration agreement and incorporated arbitration rules permitted the arbitrator to interpret the agreement broadly and apply equitable relief, and that the plaintiff failed to satisfy the narrow standards for vacatur. The court also rejected a request to modify the award because the alleged problem was legal rather than a mathematical miscalculation.
