What is the test for a court to award an award from an arbitrator?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Costa v. Costa, 2008 CanLII 9609 (ON SC):
Arbitrators are given a high standard of deference by courts. Generally the court should not interfere with an arbitrator's award unless it is satisfied that the arbitrator acted on the basis of a wrong principle, disregard material evidence or misapprehended the evidence: see Robinson v. Robinson, [2000] O.J. No. 3299 (S.C.J.), at para. 5.
