- Title
Latest Decisions Hold Parties Can Displace FAA Standard of Judicial Review and Appellate Review.
- Abstract
The article presents information on various lawsuits. It first looks at the ruling by the 10th Circuit Court on October 26, 2005 related to "MACTEC Inc. v. Gorelick." The court stated that the parties may clearly limit appellate review of arbitration awards in their contract because it incites arbitration and reduces litigation costs, both underlying purposes of the Federal Arbitration Act. The case was a result of a nonpayment dispute involving intellectual property. The district court decided against MACTEC. The company appealed but the 10th Circuit Court dismissed the appeal for inadequate jurisdiction. In Puerto Rico Telegraph & Telephone Co. (PTRC) , acting as liquidator of "Reliance Insurance Co. v. U.S. Phone Manufacturing Corp." arguments were placed by PTRC regarding the application of legal error standard as the law requires review of records under this standard. The ruling given by the First Circuit Court is given regarding the inclusion of generic choice-of-law clause.
