Vacatur Of Awards Under The Tennessee Uniform Arbitration Act: Substance, Procedure, And Strategies For Practitioners, Steven Feldman
Vacatur Of Awards Under The Tennessee Uniform Arbitration Act: Substance, Procedure, And Strategies For Practitioners, Steven Feldman
Steven Feldman
Currently, a lively debate exists in the academic community about the fairness of contractual arbitration clauses. The commentators, however, rarely explore the doctrinal aspects of arbitration as found in the Uniform Arbitration Act, the Revised Uniform Arbitration Act, and the Federal Arbitration Act.
This oversight is regrettable because standard form arbitration clauses are a fixture on the current legal landscape and the odds are high that arbitration in its current form will continue for many years to come.
This article analyzes the Tennessee Uniform Arbitration Act (TUAA). One of the most challenging TUAA topics is the action for vacatur (annulment) …
The 2012 Saudi Arbitration Law: A Comparative Examination Of The Law And Its Effect On Arbitration In Saudi Arabia, Faris K. Nesheiwat, Ali Khasawneh
The 2012 Saudi Arbitration Law: A Comparative Examination Of The Law And Its Effect On Arbitration In Saudi Arabia, Faris K. Nesheiwat, Ali Khasawneh
Ferris K Nesheiwat
A major concern for any outside investor in the Middle East's largest economy is that arbitration in Saudi Arabia is notoriously complicated, time-consuming, and prone to interference by the local courts, while arbitral awards have often faced difficulties in being enforced. A new Saudi Arbitration Law was issued by Royal Decree No. M/34 on April 16th, 20124 (the “New Law”), which came into force on 9 July 2012. The New Law, which is covered in 58 Articles, is intended to alleviate many of the shortcomings of the Saudi Arbitration Law of 1983 (the “Old Law”) and strengthen investors' confidence in …

Stiffing The Arbitrators: The Problem Of Nonpayment In Commercial Arbitration, Brian Farkas, Neal M. Eiseman
Stiffing The Arbitrators: The Problem Of Nonpayment In Commercial Arbitration, Brian Farkas, Neal M. Eiseman
Brian Farkas
Commercial arbitration is a creature of contract; the parties are there because they choose to be, either including an arbitration clause in their written agreement or, after a dispute developed, electing to avoid litigation all together. Arbitration also comes with an up-front cost non-existent in litigation: the arbitrators. Taxpayers pay for their state and federal judges, but the parties themselves pay for their arbitrators. But what happens if one party refuses (or is otherwise unable) to pay the arbitrator? If the arbitrator then refuses to proceed, as is likely, should the dispute revert to court, in derogation of the prior …
A Gateway Question Of Arbitrability: The Ambiguity Of Article Ii Of The New York Convention On The Recognition And Enforcement Of Foreign Arbitral Awards Of 1958, John Ja Burke
John JA Burke
This article addresses, a well established but unsettled, gateway question of International Commercial Arbitration: who, national courts or arbitral tribunals, has primary competence to decide whether parties have entered into an internationally cognizable arbitration agreement. The flip side of this question implicates the doctrine of Kompetenz/Kompetenz. The uncertainty, for both issues, stems from the legal status accorded to Article (2)(3) of the New York Convention on the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards of 1958 [1958 NYC or Convention]. Article (2)(3) obliges Courts of a Contracting State to refer parties to arbitration provided two conditions precedent are met thereby …
Consumer Protection, Hijacking And The Concepcion Cases, Brandy G. Robinson
Consumer Protection, Hijacking And The Concepcion Cases, Brandy G. Robinson
Brandy G Robinson
Since its ruling, AT&T Mobility v. Concepcion has been the subject of scrutiny among many people in both the business and legal industries. The ruling’s significance denotes class arbitration is no longer a viable option in certain types of litigation matters. Yet, courts continue to defy this ruling. Post-Concepcion cases help in exploring why there is such a discord and confusion on whether class arbitration or any class alternative dispute resolution method are allowable.This article briefly examines AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion and post-Concepcion cases and what remains for consumers and consumer law attorneys after Concepcion. The article also provides …
Enforcing Global Law: International Arbitration And Informal Regulatory Instruments, Katia Fach Gómez
Enforcing Global Law: International Arbitration And Informal Regulatory Instruments, Katia Fach Gómez
katia fach gómez
This paper starts from the assumption that international arbitration easily fits in with a pluralist conception of global law. Globalization has created new informal instruments of regulation, and arbitration is an efficient tool for enforcing them. First, the paper presents a brief analysis of the most noteworthy international initiatives in the area of transnational legal indicators. It will become clear how these indirect regulatory instruments are contributing to the creation of a new regulatory profile in the area of arbitration. Second, a number of examples will show that both commercial and investment arbitration are receptive to the multiple appearances of …

Hamid Nasseri
Abstract
WIPO arbitration rules which became imperative in 2002 is one of the most comprehensive and professional rules for the settlement of intellectual property disputes. These arbitration rules are the best in settling intellectual property disputes when we take into consideration the significant issues relevant to the procedure of settling intellectual property disputes such as: the possibility of direct access of individuals to arbitration, the speed of arbitration, professionalism, organizational claims, predictions of the likelihood of appeal to alternative approaches, confidentiality of arbitration as well as the arrangement of protection schemes.

The Arbitration Clause As Super Contract, Richard Frankel
The Arbitration Clause As Super Contract, Richard Frankel
Richard Frankel
It is widely acknowledged that the purpose of the Federal Arbitration Act was to place arbitration clauses on equal footing with other contracts. Nonetheless, federal and state courts have turned arbitration clauses into “super contracts” by creating special interpretive rules for arbitration clauses that do not apply to other contracts. In doing so, they have relied extensively, and incorrectly, on the Supreme Court’s determination that the FAA embodies a federal policy favoring arbitration.
While many scholars have focused attention on the public policy rationales for and against arbitration, few have explored how arbitration clauses should be interpreted. This article fills …
Case Of Interest Regarding The United States Supreme Court Upholding A Contractual Waiver Of Class Arbitration, William P. Huttenbach
Case Of Interest Regarding The United States Supreme Court Upholding A Contractual Waiver Of Class Arbitration, William P. Huttenbach
William P. Huttenbach
Recent case you might find of interest regarding the United States Supreme Court upholding a contractual waiver of class arbitration. This case involves merchants filing a class action antitrust suit against American Express. See American Express Co. v. Italian Colors Restaurant, 133 S.Ct. 2304 (2013). Respondents are merchants who accepted American Express cards. The contract between parties contained a clause that required all disputes between said parties to be resolved by arbitration and that no claims could be arbitrated on a class action basis. Respondents brought a class action suit against Petitioners for violation of the federal antitrust laws due …

The More Favorable Regime For Confirming International Arbitral Awards Made In The U.S.: A Choice Within The ‘Overlapping Coverage’ Of Faa Chapters One And Two, Suyash Paliwal
Suyash Paliwal
According to U.S. courts, Chapters One and Two of the Federal Arbitration Act provide “overlapping coverage” over arbitral awards that were made in the U.S. and also fall under the New York Convention. The meaning of “overlapping coverage” under U.S. arbitral law remains unclear, but affects the defeated party’s ability to challenge the conversion of these awards to court judgments and, consequently, the parties’ decision to seat an arbitration in the U.S. According to every Circuit that has addressed the question, when a U.S.-rendered award is domestic, it is subject to summary, challenge-free confirmation under Chapter One if it is …

México, Su Constitución Y El Arbitraje Internacional: Un Desarrollo Bicentenario, James A. Graham
México, Su Constitución Y El Arbitraje Internacional: Un Desarrollo Bicentenario, James A. Graham
James A. Graham
En la Montaña Mágica de Mann, Settembrini defiende el arbitraje como el medio idóneo para resolver las disputas internacionales, enfatizando que hay un ius divinum (hoy diríamos una lex mercatoria) que transciende los derechos positivos y permite resolver las controversias más allá de los diversos derechos nacionales. A lo cual, le responde Naphta, que no es posible dejar a tribunales “bourgeois” decidir sobre lo justo como si fueron dioses, o como hubiera dicho Rigaux, “des dieux et des héros”. Tal antagonismo resume la historia del arbitraje en los dos últimos siglos en México. Considerado al inicio de su independencia, como …

Walking A Tightrope: The Role Of Equitable Discretion In Quantum Determination In Investment Treaty Law, Silke N. Kumpf
Silke Noa Kumpf
My thesis analyzes the manifestation of equitable arbitrator discretion in quantum determination and its role as a tool to balance treaty-based investor rights with extrinsic but competing international and public law obligations of States. I examine, first, scholarly opinions on the subject, second, arbitral practice through a content analysis of all past awards published by the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), which held liable respondent State for expropriation and, third, the results of an online survey I conducted with ICSID arbitrators, the lawyers that plead before them and the scholars that write about the topic in …

Arbitration: Handling Finra's New Discovery Guide, Barry R. Temkin, Kate Digeronimo
Arbitration: Handling Finra's New Discovery Guide, Barry R. Temkin, Kate Digeronimo
Barry R. Temkin
On May 16, 2011, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) implemented its revised Discovery Guide and document production lists to supplement its Code of Arbitration Procedure for Customer Disputes. The new Discovery Guide provides lists of documents that parties and arbitrators are directed to consider presumptively discoverable in disputes between investors and FINRA member firms and their associated persons. The new discovery guide provides two simplified lists of documents, in an effort to streamline the prior discovery guide, which had multiple fragmentary lists depending on the theories alleged in the statement of claim.
On Babies And Bathwater: The Arbitration Fairness Act And The Supreme Court's Recent Arbitration Jurisprudence, Sarah Cole
Sarah Cole
Abstract: On Babies and Bathwater: The Arbitration Fairness Act and the Supreme Court’s Recent Arbitration Jurisprudence, Professor Sarah Rudolph Cole, Moritz College of Law, Ohio State University
This article addresses an important but widely overlooked issue that has plagued arbitration for many years – the disconnect between the judicial embrace of arbitration agreements between consumers (or employees) and businesses and the negative public and legislative attitude toward such agreements. For many years, Democratic legislators attempted to pass a law banning the use of pre-dispute arbitration agreements in employment disputes. In 2009, the legislators renamed this legislation and expanded its reach. …
Opening The Door To Justice: Amending The Federal Arbitration Act To Remedy The Unjust Use Of Predispute Arbitration Agreements., John D. Wood
John D. Wood, Esq.
This paper assesses the Arbitration Fairness Act’s proposed amendments to the Federal Arbitration Act, as well as the possibility of contracting for heightened judicial review of arbitration awards. In brief, I support the amendments as well as the possibility of review. Section 2(b) of the AFA would prohibit the enforcement of predispute arbitration agreements that require arbitration of employment, consumer, or franchise disputes or disputes arising under any statute intended to protect civil rights. I demonstrate why the prevailing practice of summarily enforcing predispute arbitration agreements is unjust in these contexts, and why Congressional amendment, rather than State law or …
Enforceable Arbitration Clauses In Wills And Trusts: A Critique, Stephen W. Murphy
Enforceable Arbitration Clauses In Wills And Trusts: A Critique, Stephen W. Murphy
Stephen W Murphy
A dispute over a trust or estate can tax family relationships and resources. Arbitration is an alternative that can save time and money, prevent conflict, and avoid public scrutiny. Donors might hope to place an arbitration clause in a will or trust, to require that their beneficiaries and fiduciaries settle their disputes there, rather than through long, costly, and public litigation. This paper will refer to such a provision as a “donative arbitration clause.” But state arbitration statutes would not enforce a donative arbitration clause. Those statutes only enforce arbitration clauses in a contract; and the courts that have considered …
When Can Attorneys' Fees Be Recovered In An Award Enforcement Action, M. Anderson Berry, Katherine S. Ritchey, Nandini Iyer
When Can Attorneys' Fees Be Recovered In An Award Enforcement Action, M. Anderson Berry, Katherine S. Ritchey, Nandini Iyer
M. Anderson Berry
Because parties do not always comply with arbitration awards, it may be necessary for the prevailing party to seek enforcement of the award in a court of law—typically in a jurisdiction where the losing party has sufficient assets. This article focuses on whether the prevailing party can recover attorneys’ fees accrued during the enforcement procedure in U.S. district court under the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA).

Reconsidering Arbitration: Evaluating The Future Of The Manifest Disregard Doctrine, Griffin Toronjo Pivateau
Reconsidering Arbitration: Evaluating The Future Of The Manifest Disregard Doctrine, Griffin Toronjo Pivateau
Griffin Toronjo Pivateau
In a recent decision, the Supreme Court indicated that parties may now have fewer rights to appeal arbitration awards. In Hall Street v. Mattel, Inc., the Court found that parties to an arbitration agreement could not supplement, by contract, the statutory grounds for challenging an arbitration award. Unfortunately, the Court called into doubt a long line of cases holding that a party could seek to vacate an arbitration decision where the arbitrator exhibited a manifest disregard for the law. Until the Hall Street decision, the manifest disregard doctrine enjoyed widespread acceptance. Appellate courts from every circuit have used the manifest …
Disputes Related To Healthcare Across National Boundaries: The Potential For Arbitration, Deth Sao
Disputes Related To Healthcare Across National Boundaries: The Potential For Arbitration, Deth Sao
Deth Sao
Trade in international health services has the potential to play a leading role in the global economy, but its rapid growth is impeded by legal barriers. Advances in technology and cross-border movement of people and health services create legal ambiguities and uncertainties for businesses and consumers involved in transnational medical malpractice disputes. Existing legal protections and remedies afforded by traditional judicial frameworks are unable to resolve the following challenges: (1) assertion of personal jurisdiction; (2) choice of forum and law considerations; (3) appropriate theories of liability for injuries and damages arising from innovations in medical care and delivery of health …

How The Payday Predator Hides Among Us: The Predatory Nature Of The Payday Loan Industry And Its Use Of Consumer Arbitration To Further Discriminatory Lending Practices, Michael A. Satz
Michael A Satz
This Article argues that Payday lending is a predatory lending practice that disproportionately targets minority customers, and that the Payday lending industry utilizes consumer arbitration agreements to further the industry’s discriminatory lending practices. The Article proposes that protections enacted into law to protect military service members from payday lenders should be universally enacted on a national level.
Growing Pains; Building Arbitration's Legitimacy Through Everyday Arbitral Decisions, John B. Mcarthur
Growing Pains; Building Arbitration's Legitimacy Through Everyday Arbitral Decisions, John B. Mcarthur
John B McArthur
Arbitration’s rapid growth has come under pressure in recent years. A Supreme Court decision holding that awards under the Federal Arbitration Act cannot be vacated for substantive error even if they clearly are wrong has helped discredit arbitration. Misuse of arbitration clauses in consumer, employment, and franchise settings has led to proposals for radical constriction under the proposed Arbitration Fairness Act of 2009. Facing these challenges, arbitrators need to ensure the quality of their awards by adhering to the rule of law and resisting the temptation to administer a personal brand of justice. They need to discourage silent awards and …
