How can a party challenge an arbitrator’s decision in international litigation?

Challenging an arbitrator’s decision in international litigation in Alaska is a complex process which requires a party to first understand the various potential elements of international arbitration under Alaska law. In general, a party can challenge an arbitrator’s decision by filing a motion to vacate, modify, or correct the arbitration award with the court. This motion must be filed in the court with jurisdiction over the arbitrator’s decision. In order for the court to vacate, modify, or correct an arbitrator’s decision, the party filing the motion must demonstrate that the arbitration agreement or the award itself was non-arbitrable or is otherwise invalid, or that the arbitrator engaged in misconduct or was otherwise biased. Alternatively, the party may claim that the arbitrator misinterpreted the meaning of the terms of the arbitration agreement or, in some cases, that the enforceability of the agreement or award was otherwise impacted by some other element of Alaska law. It is important to note that the court may not overrule the arbitrator’s decision if it is simply based on a disagreement with its reasoning. Ultimately, a successful motion to vacate, modify, or correct an arbitrator’s decision in Alaska will depend on the legal and factual basis of the motion. A party should consider consulting an experienced international litigation attorney for advice in determining if challenging an arbitrator’s decision is the best course of action.
