Summary

The Court of Appeals dismissed the appeal against the district court decision that had confirmed a non-domestic award rendered in Florida, rejecting a claim of excess of authority by the arbitral tribunal raised under Chapter 1 of the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), which regulates domestic arbitration. The Court affirmed its earlier conclusion in this same case that the vacatur grounds in Chapter 1 apply to Convention cases with arbitration seat in the United States.
