2A:24-8.  Vacation of award;  rehearing
    The court shall vacate the award in any of the following cases:

    a.  Where the award was procured by corruption, fraud or undue means;

     b.  Where there was either evident partiality or corruption in the arbitrators, or any thereof;

     c.  Where the arbitrators were guilty of misconduct in refusing to postpone  the hearing, upon sufficient cause being shown therefor, or in refusing to hear  evidence, pertinent and material to the controversy, or of any other  misbehaviors prejudicial to the rights of any party;

    d.  Where the arbitrators exceeded or so imperfectly executed their powers that a mutual, final and definite award upon the subject matter submitted was not made.

    When an award is vacated and the time within which the agreement required the award to be made has not expired, the court may, in its discretion, direct a rehearing by the arbitrators.
