Arbitration Law Memo
LawMemo sent its monthly Arbitration Law Memo to its email subscribers today. It's a nifty compilation of court decisions dealing with "employment arbitration" under individual contracts and "labor arbitration" under collective bargaining agreements.
For each case, a single click takes you to the full text of the court decision.
Some sample headlines:
- 5th - Continued employment constituted consent to arbitration.
- DC - Sever the ban on punitive damages and compel arbitration.
- 6th - Employee bound by implied-in-fact arbitration agreement.
- 8th - Award didn't evidence "manifest disregard for law."
- 10th - Interlocutory appeal from the denial of a motion to compel arbitration divests a district court of jurisdiction to proceed.
- 4th - Internal dispute program was not part of arbitration agreement.
- CA - Arbitrator's award enforcing covenant not to compete was upheld.
- CT - Arbitrators' award did not violate public policy against theft.
