Fellus v. Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• noting that deference is at its strongest where plaintiff sued in his home forum and the “subject of the arbitration” was in that forum
• explaining this rule exists because “the court does not revisit the underlying issues determined by the arbitrators, but rather, what the arbitrators did and whether their actions warrant vacation” (quotations marks omitted)
• “Modification based on evident material miscalculation is generally limited to patently obvious mistakes on the face of the award.”
• “A party cannot successfully argue that the arbitrators exceeded their authority to award damages where the party did not dispute the arbitrators’ authority to award damages generally, but only that they did not properly award damages under the specific facts of the case”
