Recent Significant Decisions for Russell L Forkey
|
Russell L. Forkey, Esq., has been the responsible attorney relative to numerous reported decisions on behalf of clients involving securities matters in the Southern District of Florida, the Courts of Appeal in Florida, as well as the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. These decisions have helped define matters to be covered in arbitration, the authority of arbitrators to order discovery and grounds under which arbitration awards may be reviewed. Chief among the most recent are:
· A decision establishing that investors are intended third party beneficiaries of contracts between brokers and the self-regulatory agencies to which they belong and can enforce these contracts to demand arbitration of disputes that would not be arbitrable otherwise.
· A decision involving the interpretation of Florida’s Blue Sky Securities Laws’ prohibition against sales of securities by dealers outside of Florida but not registered in Florida to residents of Florida.
·The development of a non-statutory standard of judicial review for vacating arbitration awards in addition to the statutory grounds expressed in the Federal Arbitration Act and the fact, that arbitrators and not courts determine all statute of limitation defenses
