United States Supreme Court
Hall Street Assocs., L.L.C. v. Mattel, Inc., 06-989
The statutory grounds provided by the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) for expedited judicial review to confirm, vacate, or modify arbitration awards are exclusive, as opposed to mere threshold provisions open to expansion by agreement. In a dispute between a commercial landlord and tenant-manufacturer, involving arbitration of the applicability of a lease indemnification provision for failure to comply with environmental laws, the Ninth Circuit's judgment is vacated and the case remanded for further proceedings.
