The court dismissed an application to enforce an arbitral order compelling non-parties to attend discovery, holding arbitrators lack jurisdiction over strangers to the arbitration agreement.
The applicant, Link 427 General Partnership, sought to enforce an interim arbitral order compelling two non-parties, Fay Marzuq and Melissa Raffoul, to attend examinations for discovery.
The court dismissed the application, holding that an arbitrator lacks jurisdiction over non-parties to an arbitration agreement, and therefore the court would not enforce such an order.
The court also noted, as an alternative reason for dismissal, that the information sought from the non-parties had already been provided.
