WorldQuant Predictive Technologies, LLC ("The plaintiff, James Golden, appeals from the judgments of the trial court denying his application to vacate an arbitration award and granting an application to confirm that award filed by the defendants, WorldQuant Predictive Technologies, LLC (WorldQuant), and Jeffrey Blomberg. On appeal, we consider whether (1) the plaintiff's failure to strictly comply with the requirements of Practice Book ยง 61-7 (a) (1) renders this appeal moot, (2) the arbitrator exceeded the scope of the arbitration submission and acted in manifest disregard of the law in awarding attorney's fees and costs to the defendants, (3) the arbitrator acted in manifest disregard of the law in denying the plaintiff's counterclaim alleging breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing, and (4) the arbitrator acted in manifest disregard of the law by misapplying the after-acquired evidence doctrine.We affirm the judgments of the trial court.")
