In re the Arbitration between Harris & East India Trading Co.

Respondent moves to confirm the Referee’s report recommending that petitioner’s motions to vacate the arbitration awards be denied. The Referee conducted extensive hearings on the facts of the basic transaction as well as the conduct of the arbitration proceedings and concluded that petitioner had failed to sustain any of the grounds asserted for vacatur of the awards.

We need not dwell upon the claim of misconduct, as the evidence fully supports the finding that it was not substantiated and that petitioner’s rights were not prejudiced by any of the acts or procedure adopted by the arbitrators.
