Highlight

An arbitration award is vacated only if it is completely irrational, in that the decision is either mistaken on its face or so mistaken as to result in real injustice or constructive fraud. An arbitrator's mistake as to fact or law is not a sufficient ground for overturning an arbitration award.
A successful litigant is not entitled to attorney's fees unless they are expressly authorized by statute or by agreement of the parties.
When no evidence is introduced and when the district court makes no specific findings of fact to support its determination on attorney's fees, it is impossible for the Supreme Court on appeal to appropriately review the decision of the district court.
