SAN FRANCISCO — An arbitration award issued by a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority panel should be vacated because an arbitrator misrepresented his qualifications, thereby prejudicing the parties’ rights to a fundamentally fair hearing as required by § 10(a)(3) of the Federal Arbitration Act, a federal appeals court has ruled.

In the opinion, the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals further held, as a matter of first impression, that the purpose of the FAA does not bar the application of equitable tolling with respect to vacatur of the award.
