July 1, 198050 N.Y.2d 1007

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division’s order vacating the arbitration award, denied the motion to vacate, and granted the cross‑motion to confirm the award, holding that an arbitrator’s interpretation of a contract is not subject to vacatur unless the award is totally irrational.
