United States Eleventh Circuit
AIG Baker Sterling Heights, LLC v. Am. Multi-Cinema, Inc., 07-10130
In action to confirm an arbitration award concerning liability for real estate taxes, modification of award by deducting close to $250,000 based on defendant's claim that it paid that amount in taxes for 2002, is reversed where the district court exceeded its authority under section 11(a) of the Federal Arbitration Act, and the availability and amount of prejudgment interest is a question of state law.
