Final Answer : True, Explanation :  Courts follow a policy of deference to arbitrators' decisions and will not generally review the merits of the decision unless there are allegations of fraud, bias, or a violation of the arbitrator's duties. Instead, they focus on whether the issue in dispute is one that falls within the scope of the arbitration agreement. This is known as the narrow standard of review.
