ARBITRATION AWARD CONFIRMATION DECISIONS

August 21, 2007 by Carlton Fields

Six recent opinions, four from US Courts of Appeal, have considered confirmation or vacation of arbitration awards. Five of the opinions rejected claims that the arbitration awards were in manifest disregard of law. Five Star Parking v. Union Local 723, Case No. 06-2012 (3d Cir. July 24, 2007) (reversing the vacation of an arbitration award relating to a collective bargaining agreement, finding that the award interpreted a contract); Aldred v. Avis Rent-a-Car, Cased No. 06-14883 (11th Cir. July 24, 2007) (affirming confirmation of award relating to collective bargaining agreement interpreting a contract); HSM Construction Services, Inc. v. MDC Systems, Inc., Case No. 06-2584 (3d Cir. July 16, 2007) (affirming confirmation of an arbitration award, finding no manifest disregard of law and no evident partiality); Caja Nacional de Ahorro y Seguros in Liquidation v. Deutsche Ruckversicherung AG, Case No. 06-5826 (USDC S.D.N.Y. Aug. 1, 2007) (confirming award pursuant to the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards and the federal Arbitration Act, finding no manifest disregard of law, that the Panel did not exceed its authority and that questions regarding the admissibility of evidence did not provide a basis for vacating the award); Buechner v. Mid-America Energy, Inc., Case No. 07-109 (USDC W.D.Ky. July 27, 2007). The sixth opinion vacated an award dealing with attorneys' fees on the basis that it was partially in manifest disregard of law and partially in violation of an enabling statute. Porzig v. Dresdner, Kleinwort, Benson, North America LLC, Case No. 06-1212 (2d Cir. Aug. 7, 2007).
