Arbitration aims for a final, enforceable decision, with courts offering only limited oversight. The award is subject to judicial review. This means a court won’t reweigh the facts or second-guess the arbitrator’s merits, but it will look for narrow issues such as whether the arbitrator had proper authority, whether due process was followed, whether the decision misapplied the law, or if there was fraud or a public-policy violation. If such issues are found, the court may vacate, modify, or remand the award; otherwise the award is typically confirmed. The other options describe broader or different review pathways that don’t apply to arbitration: de novo review would mean starting the case over anew; an appeal to a higher tribunal is typically not available for arbitration awards; reconsideration by the court isn’t the standard mechanism.
