- Title
SECURITIES -- FAILURE TO DISCLOSE -- EVIDENT PARTIALITY -- VACATUR OF AWARD -- DAMAGES -- AMOUNT OF AWARD -- IRRATIONAL DETERMINATION OF AWARD -- BURDEN OF PROOF.
- Abstract
The article presents the merits of two court cases regarding arbitration and issues involving the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act. Kaye versus Dean Witter Reynolds Inc. highlighted the failure to disclose a past association that has long since been severed is insufficient to vacate an arbitration award on grounds of evident partiality. In addition, the size of an award is neither a sufficient basis for a finding of partiality nor a statutory ground for vacating an arbitration award. The McCarran-Ferguson Act does not preclude application of the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) to a claim made under the uninsured motorist provision of an automobile insurance policy.
