Case summary

Benworth Capital Partners, LLC v. Oto Analytics, LLC, No. 3:24-cv-04840 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, is a petition filed August 7, 2024 to vacate a final arbitration award under section 10 of the Federal Arbitration Act. The petition states that the corrected final award issued by the arbitrator on June 26, 2024, incorporating an interim award of December 21, 2023, ordered Benworth to pay the respondent a principal amount of $86,299,892, pre-award interest of $25,363,697.68 and attorneys' fees and costs of $6,256,665.04. It advances three grounds: that the arbitrator exceeded his powers under section 10(a)(4), that the award compels a violation of federal law, and that the arbitrator was guilty of misconduct under section 10(a)(3). The page holds the petition, its appendices and scheduling orders.

What award is challenged?

The corrected final award issued by arbitrator Alexander Brainerd on June 26, 2024, which incorporated his interim award of December 21, 2023 and, as the petition describes it, ordered Benworth to pay a principal amount of $86,299,892, pre-award interest of $25,363,697.68 and attorneys' fees and costs of $6,256,665.04.

What are the grounds for vacatur?

That under 9 U.S.C. § 10(a)(4) the arbitrator exceeded his powers by disregarding facts and controlling federal regulations incorporated into the parties' agreements, producing an award that the petition says does not draw its essence from those agreements; that the award is unenforceable because it compels Benworth to violate federal law; and that under section 10(a)(3) the arbitrator was guilty of misconduct.

What else is on the page?

Sixty-eight exhibits, including appendices to the petition and two certificates of good standing dated 2012 and 2016, declarations, a reply brief in support of the petition filed September 9, 2024, and orders including one of September 3, 2024 granting Benworth until October 3, 2024 to reply.
