Matter of Stewart Tabori & Chang (Stewart)

In Matter of Stewart Tabori & Chang (Stewart) (282 A.D.2d 385 [1st Dept 2001]) the First Department referred to the concept of manifest disregard twice, first to confirm a portion of the award (which it found not to constitute a "manifest disregard") and to set aside a portion of an award for attorney's fees as "not authorized by the parties' agreement . . . or by any statute or court rule, contrary to New York law . . . which the parties had expressly chosen to govern their agreements," as being in manifest disregard of the law, citing only a federal case for this proposition. (Id. at 386.)
