What was the law of the Ninth Circuit since December 1997, when a threejudge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decided LaPine Technology Corporation v. Kyocera Corporation' ("LaPine 1"), has just been reversed by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals sitting en banc. In its decision, on a rehearing of what the court refers to as "LaPine IF " 2, the court overruled LaPine 1, affirming the district court's 1995 conclusion 3 and holding that a "federal court may only review an arbitral decision on the grounds set forth in the Federal Arbitration Act." 4 * Eric van Ginkel is a commercial mediator and arbitrator in Los Angeles, and International Counsel to Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP.
