The District Court denied the motion to compel arbitration of a Hurricane Ida insurance dispute. In the absence of a clear and unmistakable intention of the parties to refer issues of arbitrability to the arbitrators, the Court decided itself the question of whether the parties were bound by a valid arbitration agreement and the matter should accordingly be referred to arbitration under the New York Convention. The Court explained that according to the McCarran-Ferguson Act (MFA), a federal statute that does not specifically regulate the business of insurance does not supersede state law enacted for the purpose of regulating the business of insurance. Since the Second Circuit has held that the MFA preempts the New York Convention, the Convention did not prevail here over the Louisiana statute specifically regulating insurance and prohibiting arbitration clauses in insurance contracts. Consequently, the arbitration clause was unenforceable.
