Questions presented
-
Whether Section 205 of the Federal Arbitration Act confers subject-matter jurisdiction over a petition to vacate an arbitral award rendered under the New York Convention even though a petition to vacate is not an action or proceeding falling under the New York Convention as required by Section 203.
-
Whether the Eleventh Circuit erred in holding that the exclusive grounds for vacating a New York Convention award rendered in the United Sates are the Convention’s enumeration of defenses to enforcement, and not the grounds for vacatur set forth in Chapter 1 of the Federal Arbitration Act, in conflict with four other circuit courts, and where this Court has expressly acknowledged the Chapter 1 grounds for vacatur in reviewing a similar award in BG Group, PLC v. Republic of Argentina, 572 U.S. 25 (2014). (i)
