Seldin v. Estate of Silverman
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed as modified the district court's confirmation of an arbitration award of almost $3 million under the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) and awarding attorney fees as a sanction under Neb. Rev. Stat. 25-824, holding that no grounds existed for vacating or modifying the award, and therefore, the parties were bound by their agreement to arbitrate and the arbitrator's construction of that agreement.
The Supreme Court affirmed the district court's confirmation of the arbitration award and the denial of Appellants' motions to vacate and/or modify the award, holding (1) the district court did not err in confirming the arbitration award and denying the motions to vacate and/or modify the award; (2) the district court did not err by denying a motion to supplement the record; (3) the district court did not abuse its discretion in awarding attorney fees; and (4) the court did not err in awarding sanctions.
