In a dispute between a private hospital and its nurses’ union over the interpretation of a newly adopted staffing policy, the parties submit the dispute to a Voluntary Arbitrator designated by TVAAC. TVAAC designates Arbitrator A to hear the case. Arbitrator A issues an award in favor of the nurses. The hospital challenges the award contending that Arbitrator A did not meet statutory qualifications and that TVAAC did not comply with the appointment procedures for designation, which would render the award void or voidable. (a) Identify the controlling doctrine on TVAAC’s authority to designate Voluntary Arbitrators and the effect of such designation on the validity of the arbitrator’s award. (b) If the designation is defective, what remedy or remedies are available to the aggrieved party, and how will the court treat the challenged award?

Choose the Best Answer

If the designation is defective, the proper remedy is to remand to TVAAC for a new designation and re-arbitration; the court will generally set aside the prior award. TVAAC’s authority to designate Voluntary Arbitrators is the controlling framework; an award issued by a VA designated by TVAAC is valid only if the designation and appointment procedures complied with the governing EO and the VA possessed the statutory qualifications; if the designation is defective, the aggrieved party may move to have the award vacated or set aside in court, and the case may be remanded for proper designation or re-arbitration. The remedy when designation is defective is to file a petition for certiorari with the Supreme Court to challenge the designation’s validity while preserving the award. TVAAC designation is purely advisory; the VA’s authority to decide arises solely from the parties’ agreement; a defective designation cannot render the award void and the aggrieved party must pursue ordinary labor litigation.
