Anselmi & Carvelli, LLP

Two recent arbitration cases offer important lessons for attorneys navigating both commercial and consumer disputes. Associated Asphalt Partners, LLC v. Asphalt Paving Systems, a lengthy breach of contract case, highlights the complexities when a designated arbitrator dies mid-proceeding, underscoring the value of using a well-known arbitration forum and avoiding ambiguous terms. Meanwhile, Alvarez v. Hackensack reminds attorneys of the procedural rules that govern arbitration, such as timely requests for hearing transcripts. In their latest editorial the New Jersey Law Journal Editorial Board explains why, together, these cases emphasize the importance of thoughtful drafting and understanding arbitration rules to avoid unnecessary delays and litigation. Robert Bartkus, of counsel at Anselmi & Carvelli, LLP, is a member of the Editorial Board.

Robert Bartkus, Of Counsel at Anselmi & Carvelli, LLP, and The Hon. William A. Dreier, P.J.A.D. (Ret.), have co-written the New Jersey Arbitration Handbook, 2024 Edition. The newly released Handbook, published by ALM and available at https://lnkd.in/eVJ-VAPF, is a practical guide to arbitration for practitioners and arbitrators alike and serves as an essential resource for lawyers, demonstrating what they can expect in a typical hearing—and what will be expected of them. Learn more about Robert Bartkus here>> https://lnkd.in/eW37TB5a Bill Dreier, the inspiration and spirit of this Handbook, passed away February 2, 2024. We mourn his passing, and thank him for a lifetime of service to the law and his contribution to a unique genre—helping parties to resolve their disputes in a manner worthy of the highest tradition of the legal profession. ___________________ WHAT’S NEW IN THE HANDBOOK FOR 2024? The 2024 edition of New Jersey Arbitration Handbook includes over 90 new published and “unpublished” cases from New Jersey state and federal courts (including the Third Circuit), commentary on significant out-of-state cases as well as landmark cases in the United States Supreme Court and New Jersey Supreme Court during 2023. In addition to the existing 2022 AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules and 2021 ICDR Arbitration Rules, the 2024 edition adds an appendix with the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules and its due process protocols. Several new or expanded sections include new cases regarding the obligations of sophisticated or commercial parties’ under Atalese; considering arbitration of mass actions and finding that bellwether processes were unfair and a basis for denying a motion to compel arbitration; applying the 2022 amendments to the Federal Arbitration Act to allegations of sexual harassment and abuse; and arbitrations under Jewish procedure in a Beth Din; problems with instructing the arbitrator to apply New Jersey law when the FAA applies; the infancy doctrine; video hearings; and applying the seldom-considered AAA administrative protocols — and many others.

Anselmi & Carvelli, LLP Partner, James Harry Oliverio, successfully achieved a reversal of a trial court’s decision denying his client’s motion to dismiss a complaint and compel arbitration in a complex case involving allegations of negligence and Consumer Fraud Act violations. After the trial court’s initial denial to dismiss the complaint in favor of arbitration, a panel of the New Jersey Appellate Division agreed the lower court’s decision was not supported by sufficient evidence and reversed. This decision not only highlights the importance of properly-drafted arbitration agreements and the high burden parties seeking to set aside those agreements face, but also showcases our commitment to protecting our clients’ contractual rights.
