The following excerpt is from Kolel Beth Yechiel Mechil of Tartikov, Inc. v. YLL Irrevocable Trust, Docket No. 12-3247-cv (2nd Cir. 2013):
deference promotes the "twin goals of arbitration, namely settling disputes efficiently and avoiding long and expensive litigation." Telenor Mobile Commc'ns AS v. Storm LLC, 584 F.3d 396, 405 (2d Cir. 2009). Consequently, the burden of proof necessary to avoid confirmation of an arbitration award is very high, and a district court will enforce the award as long as "there is a barely colorable justification for the outcome reached." Rich v. Spartis, 516 F.3d 75, 81 (2d Cir. 2008) (internal quotation marks omitted).
