S 3263 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Authorizes the vacating of an arbitration award on the basis of arbitrator disregard of the law

This bill allows courts to overturn arbitration decisions if the arbitrator ignored the law. It directly affects individuals and companies involved in legal disputes that are resolved through arbitration. The key change adds a specific reason for vacating an award, stating that a decision can be set aside if the arbitrator showed a clear disregard for legal rules. This provision is intended to provide a new ground for challenging arbitration outcomes without changing other existing rules. The bill would become effective 180 days after it is signed into law.
