A New Way of Using Rico: Injuries Caused to Foreign Plaintiffs Due to Frustration of Enforcement of Arbitration Awards

The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that foreign plaintiffs can use RICO to seek damages for injuries to their intangible property, including US judgments and arbitration awards, if the injury is felt in the US. This decision expands the enforcement options for foreign plaintiffs facing frustration in enforcing arbitration awards. RICO is a federal statute aimed at combating organized crime and allows private individuals to take legal action for damages. The ruling provides guidelines for determining whether an injury is domestic under RICO. This decision enhances the enforcement-friendly environment for foreign arbitration awards in the US.

The Importance of the Arbitral Seat In International Commercial Arbitration

The arbitral seat, or place of arbitration, significantly impacts legal consequences and practical considerations in dispute resolution. Factors influencing seat choice include neutrality, convenience, familiarity with the legal environment, and language. Legal consequences comprise recognition and enforcement of awards, supervisory jurisdiction, judicial assistance, internal arbitration procedures, conflict of laws, mandatory laws, arbitrability, and arbitration agreement validity. Parties should carefully consider the arbitral seat's implications to ensure smoother navigation of future disputes.

International Arbitration Landscape in the U.S.

The US is considered a pro-arbitration forum with independent, experienced, and neutral courts. The Federal Arbitration Act is the primary legislation governing arbitrations, including those related to the maritime transaction, contracts involving interstate and foreign commerce. The act provides limited grounds to vacate an arbitration award, and Chapter 2 ensures the application of the New York Convention in the US. U.S. courts must stay the trial of action if any suit or proceeding is brought upon any issue referable to arbitration. The domestic application of the NY Convention provides for a similar outcome. There are plenty of well-regarded arbitral institutions in the US capable of administering international arbitrations.
