Docs of Ct, LLC v. Biotek Services, LLC

Summary

The Court held that a party seeking to vacate an arbitration award under OCGA § 9-9-13 (b) must show that the alleged misconduct or partiality affected or influenced the arbitration's outcome. Ex parte communications are not automatically prejudicial, and Docs of CT failed to show that the communications likely changed the damages award. The Court therefore affirmed confirmation of the award.
