AG Sources
The arbitrator ruled that Gautier was bound by this agreement, and must attend a rehabilitation program before returning to work. Id. at 27. Based on this “contractual ruling” by the arbitrator, defendants argue that Celanese is preventing Gautier from working not because of his disability, but because he has failed to satisfy his contractual obligation to attend a rehabilitation program. The defendants claim that the arbitrator’s contractual interpretation is binding on this court—even if issue preclusion does not apply—and that the arbitrator’s interpretation is fatal to Gautier’s ADA claim. -Gautier v. Celanese (2015)
