U.S. Supreme Court Grants Cert to Stolt-Nielsen: Class Action Arbitration Case

As posted in our Commercial and Industry Arbitration and Mediation Group on LinkedIn, yesterday the U.S. Supreme Court granted certiorari to Stolt-Nielsen SA v. AnimalFeeds Int’l Corp., 548 F.3d 85 (2d Cir. 2008). The issue to be decided is whether imposing class arbitration on parties whose arbitration clauses are silent on that issue is consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act.

You can find background about this important case following the links from our recent post: Sonia Sotomayor Meets Posner: Standards of Review for Arbitration Awards After Hall Street. See links to the case briefs here: Petitions to Watch: Conference of 6.11.09 (SCOTUS Blog).
