United States Second Circuit
Applied Indus. Materials v. Ovalar Makine Ticaret Ve Sanayi, 06-3297
In underlying arbitration where respondent Turkish corporation and its chairman were found liable for breaching a contract to deliver petroleum coke, denial of petitioner's motion to confirm arbitration award and granting respondents' motion to vacate the arbitration award is affirmed as one of the three arbitrators, whose vote was dispositive, acted with "evident partiality" by failing to either investigate what he knew to be a potential business relationship between his corporation and one of the parties or inform them that he had walled himself off from learning more.
