The Appellate Division affirmed the Order which denied defendant's motion to disqualify the arbitrator and vacate his rulings. Defendant failed to demonstrate implicit gender bias against its female sole general partner in the arbitrator's comments in an email and throughout the course of the proceedings. The Appellate Division noted that plaintiff's principal and representative in the arbitration proceeding are women.
