Holding The court confirmed the arbitration award, holding that the tenant failed to meet the heavy burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that the umpire’s misconduct or partiality prejudiced its rights. Although the umpire’s conduct created an appearance of impropriety, the tenant did not demonstrate actual harm, and the tenant’s own arbitrator’s signature on the unanimous award precluded impeachment of the final valuation.
