Case Name: GE Energy Power Conversion France Sas Corp, v. Outokumpu Stainless USA, LLC, et al.,

Case No.: 18-1048

Focus: Equitable Estoppel Violation

The question in this case is whether the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, June 10, 1958, 21 U. S. T. 2517, T. I. A. S. No. 6997, conflicts with domestic equitable estoppel doctrines that permit the enforcement of arbitration agreements by nonsignatories. We hold that it does not.

Concurring: SOTOMAYOR, J., filed a concurring opinion.
