Relevant factsFree
After a UDRP administrative panel ordered Parisi to transfer his "netlearning.com" domain registration to Netlearning, Parisi filed a declaratory judgment action in federal court seeking to vacate that decision, and Netlearning moved to dismiss on the theory that this was an improper attempt to vacate a binding arbitration award under the FAA.
IssueFree
Whether, under the Federal Arbitration Act, an administrative process designed to resolve disputes only constitutes arbitration if it is mandatory and its outcome is intended as binding on the parties.
