(Robert Harvey et al. v. Certain Underwriters At Lloyd’s, London et al.)
UNITED STATES 6 June 2023 Harvey
The District Court, in a short decision without any discussion, granted the motion to compel arbitration of a Hurricane Ida insurance dispute, finding that all four jurisdictional requirements for compelling arbitration under the New York Convention were met: there was an arbitration agreement in writing, providing for arbitration in a Convention signatory (the United States) and arising out of a commercial legal relationship, and at least one of the parties was not a US citizen.
