A court may vacate the award only if it violates strong public policy, is irrational, or exceeds a specifically enumerated limitation on the arbitrator's power, pursuant to CPLR 7511[b][1] [iii]. Under the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), the arbitrator may be deemed to have exceeded his powers by manifestly disregarding the law, but only where some egregious impropriety is apparent.
