Arbitration

Can I challenge an award because the arbitrator got the law wrong?

Generally, no. Unless the parties agreed that the arbitrator must decide according to law AND the arbitrator clearly and substantially deviated from the applicable law (section 24), a legal error does not justify setting aside the award. Courts repeatedly hold that arbitrators are permitted to reach their own legal conclusions, even mistaken ones, without judicial interference.
