Looks like the U.S. Supreme Court can’t have enough of arbitration this term. As posted at the Adjunct Law Prof, the Court vacated and remanded Kimberlin v Renasant Bank (Dkt No 08-816). The issue decided by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit was whether non-parties to an arbitration agreement can invoke Section 3 of the Federal Arbitration Act and compel arbitration.
The U.S. Supreme Court decided this issue recently in Arthur Andersen LLP v. Carlisle, No. 08–146 (May 4, 2009) (find our case summary here). Because the Sixth Circuit’s decision was not in accord with Arthur Andersen LLP v. Carlisle, the Court remanded the case for further proceedings.
