Bakoss v. Certain Underwriters at Lloyd’s of London Issuing Certificate No. 0510135
Petition for certiorari denied on October 7, 2013
Issue: (1) Whether, by electing not to define the term "arbitration," Congress evinced an intent to respect relevant state-law definitions of "arbitration," so long as applying them would not undermine the Federal Arbitration Act"s policy goals; and (2) whether, if it is proper to disregard relevant state-law definitions of "arbitration" in favor of one created by federal judges, that definition should exclude alternative dispute resolution that does not necessarily (a) resolve the plaintiff"s entire cause of action (b) through an adversarial process.
