Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether Section 205 of the Federal Arbitration Act confers subject-matter jurisdiction over a petition to vacate an arbitral award rendered under the New York Convention

Question Presented (from Petition)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether Section 205 of the Federal Arbitration Act confers subject-matter jurisdiction over a petition to vacate an arbitral award rendered under the New York Convention even though a petition to vacate is not an action or proceeding falling under the New York Convention as required by Section 203. 2. Whether the Eleventh Circuit erred in holding that the exclusive grounds for vacating a New York Convention award rendered in the United Sates are the Convention’s enumeration of defenses to enforcement, and not the grounds for vacatur set forth in Chapter 1 of the Federal Arbitration Act, in conflict with four other circuit courts, and where this Court has expressly acknowledged the Chapter 1 grounds for vacatur in reviewing a similar award in BG Group, PLC v. Republic of Argentina, 572 U.S. 25 (2014). (i)
