Jurisdiction United States
Summary

The Court confirmed an AAA award rendered in the United States, finding that the arbitrators did not manifestly disregard Delaware law on the rehash and bootstrapping doctrines in respect of fraud and fraudulent inducement claims. Also, the arbitrators did not exceed their powers, because the fraudulent inducement and breach-of-contract claims both arose from the acquisition that was the subject of the share purchase agreement containing an arbitration agreement.
