New Fifth Circuit Arbitration Decision
The Fifth Circuit recently issued a decision confirming an arbitration award in American Laser Vision v. Laser Vision Institute (No. 06-10260). The losing party sought to vacate the award on grounds that the arbitrator exceeded his authority and manifestly disregarded the law.
As noted over at Disputing, the decision breaks no new ground, but "is still helpful as a recent and cogent explanation of the analysis on these two fairly common grounds parties assert when attempting to appeal arbitral awards."
