The District Court granted the motion to compel arbitration of a dispute concerning the insurance of damages caused by Hurricane Ida. It held that the four jurisdictional requirements for compelling arbitration under the New York Convention were met: there was an arbitration agreement in writing in the insurance contract between the parties; the agreement provided for arbitration in the United States, a Convention signatory; it concerned a commercial legal relationship, the insurance policy; and multiple underwriters at Lloyd’s were non-US citizens. The Court noted that while Louisiana law ordinarily prohibits enforcement of arbitration clauses covering insurance disputes, the New York Convention and its enabling act, the Federal Arbitration Act, (FAA) supersede otherwise applicable state law.
