Hrpv v. Nevada Property 1

motion to reconsider and to vacate the arbitrator's award, which the district court denied. This appeal followed. The district court did not err in confirming the award and denying appellant's motion to vacate it. Appellant did not demonstrate that the arbitrator overlooked statutory requirements or manifestly disregard the law in denying appellant's claim to rescind the contract and awarding damages to respondent. Health Plan of Nev., Inc. v. Rainbow Med., LLC, 120 Nev. 689, 695, 100 P.3d 172, 176-77 (2004) (providing that an arbitration award will only be reversed if there is a statutory ground for reversal or the arbitrator manifestly disregarded the law). Respondent complied with the statutory disclosure requirements and while respondent's strict compliance with NRS 116.4118, NRS 116.4119, NRS 116.12065, and NRS 116B.300 is less clear, because there is a colorable argument that respondent either substantially complied with these statutes or that any noncompliance does not warrant rescission, reversal is not warranted on this ground. Health Plan, 120 Nev. at 698, 100 P.3d at 178 (explaining that if there is a colorable justification for the outcome, the arbitration award will be confirmed). Further, the arbitrator did not manifestly disregard the law or the contract in concluding that there was no material difference in the way the Cosmopolitan was constructed or that there was no unreasonable delay in the construction. Clark Cnty. Sch. Din. v. Rolling Plains Constr., Inc., 117 Nev. 101, 104, 16 P.3d 1079, 1081 (2001) (providing that this court reviews de novo a district court's application of the manifest disregard standard). Additionally the arbitrator did not disregard the contractual requirement that appellant have an opportunity to inspect the unit prior to closing because respondent provided appellant with such an
