Does a consensual judgment supersede that of an arbitrator?

"New York", United States of America

The following excerpt is from Country-Wide Ins. Co. v. Protechmed Inc., 2020 NY Slip Op 33910 (U) (N.Y. Sup. Ct. 2020):

require a stricter scrutiny than consensual ones, courts are still bound by the arbitrator's factual findings, interpretation of relevant documents, and judgment concerning remedies. A court cannot substitute its judgment for that of the arbitrator simply because it believes its interpretation is superior to that of an arbitrator who has made errors of judgment or fact (Matter of New York State Correctional Officers & Police Benevolent Ass'n v. State of New York, 94 NY2d 321, 726 N.E.2d 462, 704 N.Y.S.2d 910 [1999]).
