Caputo v. Wells Fargo Advisors
Petition for certiorari denied on October 31, 2022
Issue: (1) Whether this court"s public policy exception is inapplicable to an arbitral award enforcing contractual provisions that are expressly illegal, void, and unenforceable under applicable statutes, on the supposition that such statutes do not embody sufficiently well-defined and dominant public policy; (2) whether this court"s public policy exception to judicial deference toward arbitral awards is displaced by a deferential manifest-disregard-of-law standard of judicial review where, as here, the public policy issue was presented to the arbitrators; and (3) whether this court"s public policy exception is applicable under the Federal Arbitration Act in light of Hall Street Associates v. Mattel, holding that grounds set out in the FAA for vacating arbitral awards are exclusive.
