Summary

Memorandum Opinion and Order

This is a proceeding to enforce a foreign arbitration award under the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of June 10, 1958 ("the Convention"). (Dkt. 77 at p. 2) Before the Court is Petitioners' Second Amended Petition for Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Award against Respondent Saudi Arabian Oil Company ("Saudi Aramco"). (Dkt. 108) The parties have compiled and presented an extensive record and thorough briefing on the relevant issues, and the Court has reviewed all the parties' filings and documents submitted in the record. The record establishes that, over the strenuous objections of the parties to an arbitration agreement, Petitioners, who are nonsignatories to this agreement, used the agreement to arbitrate a dispute that fell outside of the scope of the agreement. The arbitration proceeding was conducted in direct contravention of the agreement's explicit procedural terms and was so riddled with irregularities that it resulted in criminal convictions for several of the arbitrators involved. For the reasons discussed in greater detail below, the Court will not confirm the arbitration award and Petitioners' motion (Dkt. 108) is DENIED.
