AlixPartners, LLP v. Fund for Protection of Investors’ Rights in Foreign States
Consolidated with ZF Automotive US, Inc. v. Luxshare, Ltd. (21-401)
Holding
Although 28 U.S.C. § 1782(a) permits a district court to order discovery "for use in a proceeding in a foreign or international tribunal," only a governmental or intergovernmental adjudicative body may qualify as such a tribunal, and the arbitration panels in these cases are not such adjudicative bodies.
