• noting that it was “be[ing] guided by the established meaning that the words of section 11(a) had at the time they were adopted”
• holding no material mistake or miscalculation when award did not compensate for payments never submitted to arbitrator
• collecting New York cases showing that this reading has “been part of New York jurisprudence for many years”
• declining to address one of plaintiff’s arguments because the plaintiff “wisely abandoned this position at oral argument”
• reading the second half of §11(a) as incorporating a face-of-the-award limitation partly because that reading was “consistent with the purpose of the [FAA]”
• “Because arbitration is an alternative to litigation, judicial review of arbitration decisions is ‘among the narrowest known to the law.’” (citations omitted)
