Arbitration

KX Reinsurance Co. v. General Reinsurance Corp., 08 CV 7807 (SAS) (S.D.N.Y Nov. 14, 2008)

Nov 14, 2008

OUTCOME: Court granted Motion to Vacate Award in Part

Mr. Loree Jr. obtained on behalf of an English client partial vacatur of a reinsurance arbitration award in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The final award inclu ... ded a provision stating that the arbitration panel would remain constituted until the parties agreed that it should disband. When the arbitration panel would not disband after resolving all issues the parties submitted to it, his client petitioned the Court for an order vacating the retention of jurisdiction provision and confirming all other aspects of the award. He successfully convinced the Court to grant the petition in its entirety, and hold that the retention ofjurisdiction provision exceeded the arbitrators' authority under Section 10(a)(4) of the Federal Arbitration Act.

Arbitration

Nationwide Mut. Ins. Co. v. Home Ins. Co. , 429 F.3d 640 (6th Cir. 2005)

Nov 29, 2005

OUTCOME: Court affirmed D. Ct. Order Confirming Award

When he was a Partner in the Litigation Department of Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, Mr. Loree argued Nationwide Mut. Ins. Co. v. Home Ins. Co. , 429 F.3d 640 (6th Cir. 2005), which rejected an evident ... partiality and excess of powers challenge to a favorable arbitration award he helped his client obtain. Considering for the first time what legal standard should apply to an evident partiality challenge based on a party-appointed arbitrator's alleged failure to disclose purported conflicts of interest, the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit rejected the challenging party's argument that the district court applied the wrong standard. Nationwide has been cited extensively by courts, treatises and commentators. ATTORNEY ADVERTISING NOTICE: PRIOR RESULTS DO NOT GUARANTEE A SIMILAR OUTCOME
