Eighth Circuit: Meierhenry Sargent LLP v. Bradley Williams

 

Appellate injunction limiting fee arbitrability resulting in an order form the district court on remand that further limited the arbitability to issues that had not been before the appellate court was not impermissibly modified by the order on remand.  The court was free to expand the scope of its initial order.

Appellate court has no jurisdiction over a stay no longer in effect, or matters not subject to interlocutory review.

CONCURRENCE:

Arbitration statute does not empower courts to remove areas from the scope of the arbitration by means of injunction, but the parties didn't raise this defense.
