The federal district court in New Jersey found that a party had standing to challenge an arbitration award because his name and address were identical to those specified in the award. Nevertheless, the Court found that the party failed to establish any grounds for vacating the award.
In Durga v. MBNA American Bank, NA [sic], Civil No. 06-2444 (AET), 2006 WL 2375457 (D.N.J., Aug. 14, 2006), after MBNA obtained an arbitration award against a Raymond Durga, Plaintiff Raymond Durga, Sr., moved to vacate the award.
MBNA objected that Plaintiff lacked standing because he is the father of the Durga who was party to the arbitration. The Court dismissed MBNA’s objection because Plaintiff’s name and address were identical to those specified in the arbitration award and because Plaintiff asserted that he was party to the arbitration. Thus proceeding to the merits of Plaintiff’s motion, the Court found that he failed to establish any grounds for vacating the award.
