Q&A on SCOTUS and Arbitration
In an article posted on their firm’s website, Matthew T. Furton and Julie L. Young, partners in Locke Lord, discuss some recent rulings on arbitration by the U.S. Supreme Court, particularly as they apply to insurance and reinsurance.
The questions and answers discuss why the court has taken on more cases involving arbitration, which arbitration cases are currently under consideration by the court, why it matters that the circuits are split as to whether to stay or dismiss an action after compelling arbitration, and what the current state of the “manifest disregard” standard is.
