Opinion
May 15, 1990
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Edward Greenfield, J.).
Respondent Blake Adams, in opposition to petitioner's motion, set forth no basis to vacate the award (CPLR 7511 [b]). The issue of standing raised by respondent was previously raised before the arbitrator and rejected. Accordingly, the court was statutorily mandated to confirm the award. (CPLR 7510; MVAIC v. Nationwide Mut. Ins. Co., 150 A.D.2d 215; Integrated Sales v. Maxell Corp., 94 A.D.2d 221.)
As long as the arbitrators remain within their jurisdiction and do not reach an irrational result, they may "fashion the law to fit the facts before them" and their award will not be set aside because they erred in determination or application of the law. (Matter of Exercycle Corp. [Maratta], 9 N.Y.2d 329, 336; Matter of Sprinzen [Nomberg], 46 N.Y.2d 623.)
