The Mississippi Supreme Court recently considered the narrow role of courts in amending arbitration awards and the applicability of federal and state statutes in a choice-of-law conflict. See D.W. Caldwell, Inc. v. W.G. Yates & Sons Construction Company 2017-CA-00116-SCT (Miss. 2018). The Court ultimately held that the miscalculations alleged by Yates & Sons Construction Company (“Yates”) regarding the arbitration award given to D.W. Caldwell, Inc. (“Caldwell”) were not evident or apparent, and therefore the original arbitration award should be confirmed. Additionally, the Court found that the trial court judge erred by allowing both parties to present witness testimonies, rather than focusing on the record from arbitration.
