Our examination of the record and briefs of the parties persuades us that the judgment of the trial court should be affirmed. In its comprehensive memorandum of decision, the trial court analyzed the law in a manner consistent with a proper interpretation of General Statutes § 52-418 and consistent with case precedent relating to the confirmation or vacating of arbitration awards.

The trial court’s memorandum of decision; Hartford v. Local 1716, Council 4, AFSCME, 44 Conn. Sup. 312, 688 A.2d 882 (1996), addresses all of the arguments raised in this appeal, and we adopt that well reasoned decision as a statement of the applicable law on these issues.
The judgment is affirmed.
