Court remands case to new arbitration panel for further proceedings

by

After partially vacating an arbitration award as being in manifest disregard of law, a District Court has remanded the case to a new arbitration panel for further proceedings. The Court found it inappropriate to remand the case to the same arbitration panel for further proceedings relating to the issue as to which it had found that the panel had manifestly disregarded Pennsylvania law. Koken v. Cologne Reinsurance (Barbados) Ltd., Case No. 98-0678 (USDC MD Pa Dec. 5, 2006).
