Jurisdiction United States
Summary

The District Court denied without prejudice the plaintiff’s motion to dismiss or stay arbitration in St. Kitts and Nevis until the Court had made a decision about whether an enforceable arbitration agreement existed. The Court noted that the plaintiff failed to address whether the Court had jurisdiction to dismiss or stay arbitration proceedings in the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis; it also pointed out that its independent research had shown that such jurisdiction may not exist because St. Kitts and Nevis was not a party to the New York Convention.
