United States First Circuit

In a case addressing the parameters of the doctrine of industrial double jeopardy in the context of an arbitral award wherein the arbitrator overrode the employee's double jeopardy argument without comment, summary judgment for arbitrator is affirmed where: 1) the arbitrator was not guilty of any manifested disregard of the law in formulating an arbitral award rooted in a permissible view of the facts and founded on common sense; and 2) its reasoning was neither palpably faulty nor mistakenly predicated on an insupportable assumption.
