Arbitrator Or Judge?
SCOTUSBlog reports today that the Supreme Court has added an arbitration case to its next term:
"New Prime Inc. v. Oliveira
Docket No. | Op. Below | Argument | Opinion | Vote | Author | Term |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
17-340 | 1st Cir. | TBD | TBD | TBD | TBD | OT 2018 |
Issues: (1) Whether a dispute over applicability of the Federal Arbitration Act's Section 1 exemption is an arbitrability issue that must be resolved in arbitration pursuant to a valid delegation clause; and (2) whether the FAA's Section 1 exemption, which applies on its face only to “contracts of employment,” is inapplicable to independent contractor agreements."
