Second Circuit: Leeward Construction Co. v. American University of Antigua

Arbitration

Where arbitrator commits in initial proceedings to issue a reasoned award, a reasoned award is required.

While an arbitrator's reasoned award need not delve into every argument raised or provide a line-by-line justification for the award, it must set forth relevant facts and factual findings.

Arguing for the original profit margins on the deal is at least a barely colorable justification for the award of same based on bad faith, which is all that is required.
